Tripod Installation
1)
Select a level area of bare soil or grass where the spiral stake can be installed.
2)
Screw the stake into the soil until only the handle is exposed.
3)
Assemble the tripod with ONE mast section and tighten the bolts that hold the mast.
(NOTE: Check which end of the mast best fits the base of the sensor. Place that end upwards.)
4)
Center the tripod over the spiral stake and attach the base of the ratchet to the hook that is on
the spiral stake.
5)
Press the release button just above the ratchet handle and raise the handle to open the ratchet
to the fullest extent (the handle will be pointing up).
6)
While holding the release button, pull up on the hook that is attached to the webbing and engage
the hook in the eyebolt on the tripod, just below the mast.
7)
Ratchet the handle back and forth until the tripod is held down securely.
8)
Lower the ratchet handle to the fully closed position to lock the cam mechanism.
