Considerations For Use.
Generally, the tripod feet should not be less than 30cm from the edge of the hole or opening used for
access. For cases where the feet are nearer than this, steps should be taken to tether or restrain the
feet from movement.
It is advised to use the G.Tripod on stable, level ground. There are adjustments on the G.Tripods legs
to allow for un-even ground or an incline, while keeping the Tripod head level. In instances such as
these where there may be some doubt about stability, it is advisable to tether or securely restrain the
feet of the tripod from movement. Do not stretch or pull the tripod legs from their natural positions.
Do not Exceed the Maximum Working Load stated on the identification label of the G.Tripod. The label
is located on the G.Tripod leg.
Should any doubt arise about the safe condition of this device, or it has been used to arrest a fall,
