M10 Installation Instructions
All individuals who may use, or be required to use, the M10 Tripod must be instructed on how to use it correctly. They must read, understand,
and follow all instructions and warnings stated on, contained in, or attached to the Tripod. A review of the proper procedure should be made
before each use.
M10 Assembly
Before using, make sure that the type of Tripod meets the application requirements as described in the technical specification, that is:
x
The center of the opening corresponds to the center of the Tripod.
x
The diameter of the opening is within the range specified in the technical specification.
x
The interior height of the Tripod is chosen correctly.
Before assembling, inspect the vicinity around the work area for debris and other material that could cause injuries or interfere with the
operation of the system. Be sure that the Tripod is positioned on a hard, stable surface before use, and that the chain (6) is in place and
secured. In addition, before descent, caution should be taken to ensure that all equipment is clear of any electrical hazard and that proper
ventilation has been provided in the work area. There is more than one way to assemble the Tripod. Outlined below is the recommended
procedure for assembly.
1. Lay the contracted Tripod on the floor at a safe distance from the opening.
2. Extend all three legs to full length, being sure latch (10) is engaged to latch the leg in extended position and then
secure each with the attached lock pin (4).
3. Lift the Tripod to the vertical position and pull all three legs away from the Tripod center point, making sure that the
lock (3) where each leg is hinged to the head (1) is fully engaged.
4. Check to make sure that:
x
All extended legs are secured with lock pins (4) and are latched. Look for latch button (10) in hole in inside of
leg to be present.
x
Each leg is set at the furthest point from the center and locked by the hinge lock (3).
x
The chain (6) is in place and adjusted to the right length.
5. Place the Tripod over the confined space opening after loading with equipment.
6. Make sure that the Tripod is in a stable position with each foot (6) flat on the floor.
7. The Tripod is now ready for installation of SafeWaze® Fall Protection equipment.

2. Remove the Tripod from the confined space opening.
3. Unlock leg hinges (3) in the Tripod head (1) and release leg latch button (10). Gradually push each leg to the Tripod
center point and embrace all three legs. Lower the Tripod to the ground.
