1. Inspect the Site before Deployment
A. Ensure that the following conditions are met prior to deployment:
I. There are no overhead wires or power lines.
II. There are no buried power lines or unexploded ordinance.
III. The ground is capable of holding tripod stakes if stakes are required.
2. Unpack the Wheeling Carry Bag
A. Remove the pole bag and stake bag and set them next to the wheeling carry bag.
3. Set up and Orient the Tripod
A. Remove the tripod from the wheeling bag and stand it up with the base plates on the
ground.
B. Orient the tripod.
I. Always orient the tripod with the serial number and compass of the tripod directly to
your front and center. This will standardize deployment and assure the view of the
mast corresponds to the step-by-step instructions in this manual.
II. For “Directionally Based Applications”, face the direction that you want the device you
are deploying to face. Use the compass on the tripod for general orientation if you are
unsure.
III. For non-directional based applications, the tripod should be deployed with your back to
the sun for maximum visibility and to avoid looking into the sun as the mast rises.
C. Release the Velcro strap on the tripod that holds the legs.
D. Unfold the tripod legs.
E. Verify the cross bar on each of the 3 tripod legs is fully deployed by pushing down on it
with at least two fingers until the sliding pin is resting completely at the bottom of the
slot.
