Step 3.
Raise the Anchor Tube and Vertical Lifeline Rope to a position just below the Pole
anchorage point:
Free the trailing end of the Vertical Lifeline Rope of any knots, kinks, or
tangles that might impede raising the Telescoping Extension Pole. Position the butt end of the
Extension Pole on the ground below the anchorage point (Figure 7). Raise the Extension Pole and
attached Anchor Tube to a point just below the desired anchorage by telescoping and locking each
extension of the Extension Pole (Figure 8).
WARNING: When extending the Extension Pole, keep fi ngers clear of the Lock Button Holes to
prevent pinching.
IMPORTANT: To ease raising and lowering of the Telescoping Extension Pole, keep the pole in
a vertical position (Figure 8).
NOTE: Exercise care to protect the Vertical Lifeline Rope from contaminates that will reduce the
rope’s dielectric properties. Keeping the unused end of the Vertical Lifeline Rope in the provided
Carrying Bag will help maintain the rope’s dielectric properties.
Step 4.
Hang the Anchor Tube over the Pole Anchorage
: Lift up on the Extension Pole slightly and
then twist the Anchor Tube into position on the desired anchorage points (Figure 9). When the
Anchor Tube is in position, lower the Extension Pole slightly to Hang the Anchor Tube on the
anchorage points and remove the Installation/Removal Tool (Figure 10).
Step 5.
Retrieve the Eye Splice end of the Vertical Lifeline Rope for anchorage purposes:
Insert
the Rope Hook end of the Installation/Removal Tool through the the Eye Splice (Figure 11)
and then retract the Telescoping Extension Pole to pull the Vertical Lifeline Rope through the
Anchor Tube and retrieve the Eye Splice.

NOTE: If an adequate amount
of clear pole top is available,
the Vertical Lifeline Rope can
be pre-choked prior to inserting
the Installation/Removal Tool
and raising the Anchor Tube
to the desired anchorage point
with the Extension Pole.
