PG 15
1.
Find a suitable area to set up the Tripod. Ensure the ground is firm and level. Sloping ground or uneven surfaces will cause
instability. This instability could cause the tripod to tilt or shift as you ascend or descend the ladder.
2.
Lay the assembled unit on its side, rungs facing up, with the foot platform resting on a box or table capable of holding the
weight of the unit as seen in
figure 56
. This will prevent excess stress on the leg sections and cross braces.
3.
Tie off a 15’ heavy duty rope or strap with a sewn looped end to the bottom wire column as shown in
figure 56
NOTE: Rope and strap not included.
4.
Have four (4) able adults help with standing the Tripod up. Position one holding the rope or strap attached in
Step 3
. Have
two more on each leg column and have the final helper at the platform.
5.
To raise the tripod, pull on the rope / strap while the other
helpers lift up on the legs and platform.
See figure 57.
Slowly walk the Tripod into position. Ensure the platform is
level.
6.
Insert the ground stakes into each leg section as shown in
figure 58
.
1.
Remove all the ground stakes. Attach a rope / strap to the bottom wire column as shown in
figure 56
.
2.
Using four (4) able adults, position two people on the leg columns. Position one person on the ladder column holding the
rope / strap and the final person near where the platform will be once tilted.
3.
While holding the strap, lift up on the ladder section to begin to tilt the tripod back. Have each person control the rate of tilt-
ing while slowly letting the rope / strap out.
4.
Once the tripod is close enough to the ground, have the fourth person help in setting the platform on the ground or on a box
or table capable of holding its weight. DO NOT allow the unit to slam onto the ground. This will damage the Tripod.
