The FallTech 7275 Tripod is intended to provide a portable anchorage mount for the mounting of lifeline
components of a comprehensive confined space entry, retrieval and rescue system. It should be erected above
the opening of the confined space. It will accommodate round openings up to 5 feet in diameter and up to 4 feet
square openings.
Steps to erect FallTech tripod:
1.
Remove the tripod from its tote bag or other storage.
2.
Lay tripod down on its side.
3.
Remove all three adjustment pins from legs if extra height is needed.
4.
Extend inner tube of leg out to desired length/height and insert adjustment pins into holes. Do not extend the
inner tube beyond the red markings near the top of the tube. For proper strength, the red markings must
remain in the top tubes.
5.
Reinsert the leg adjustment pins fully into the proper holes.
6.
Stand Tripod up vertically and spread legs out until the top of each leg comes in contact with the bottom of
the head.
7.
Insert all three upper leg lock pins through head and legs. If the tripod is to be used at a height, you may
wish to swing out and lock the legs while the tripod is lying on the ground.
8.
Insert web retention assembly through grooves in feet and tighten web assembly until taut.
9.
Install any accessories (winches, 3-way retrieval units, etc.) to the Tripod.
10.
If the tripod is to be used on loose ground surface (i.e. dirt or gravel) turn the point of the feet downward
and drive the tripod into the ground surface until it is stable.
11.
If the Tripod is on a flat surface, make sure the bottoms of the feet are flat and the points of the feet are
pointing TOWARDS THE CENTER of the tripod.
