RE741 Perimeter™ Ladder Pod
UPRIGHTING AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
1. With assembled product lying on ground flat between one
leg and ladder section, position one person at feet end
of legs. This person has to prevent the bottom end from
tilting up when platform end is lifted and prevent feet from
skidding across the ground.
2. Position two people at platform end, lift platform end
of pod and continue uprighting by walking toward feet
end and moving hands along ladder and leg sections. As
pod goes over-center, slowly allow the pod to land on the
opposite leg section. Be sure all people are clear to prevent
injury.
3. Pod may need to be positioned to allow for a level stand
and all ladder/legs touching ground. Avoid rocks or
anything that may hinder this from happening. Only move
pod with three people; one person on each leg section
and one person on ladder section. Each person should lift
equally and only enough to shift pod to a level ground
location. DO NOT lift pod by round cross braces as you
could bend or damage them.
4. Drive (4) ground stakes (not included) through the holes in
the (4) feet. Stakes should be approximately 24” in length
with 18” in ground and should be driven in at an angle.
SEE FIGURE 15
5. Climb ladder slowly and carefully always having three
points of contact on ladder at all times. Lean forward,
towards ladder as you climb. Be sure hands are free for
climbing.
6. Upon reaching foot platform, with shooting rail flipped
back out of the way, carefully turn around and sit on seat.
NOTE: To exit your ladder pod, reverse the climbing
procedure. Take great care to be sure of hand and foot
placement as you proceed back down pod ladder.
7. Reverse uprighting and use instructions to take ladder pod
