Safety Warnings
We can’t stress enough that safety must be taken into consideration when using the HI-POD. Please
follow the directions on the top of the HI-POD base.
1.
Never leave an elevated HI-POD unattended. If you must leave, bring the unit down.
2.
Always secure the legs before elevating. We have reduced the weight of the HI-POD base
considerably over the years, but that means more of the stability job has been assumed by
the legs. For safe operation make sure all the legs are locked and double locked.
3.
Be careful in extreme weather conditions. The unit can get wet. We have raingear for all
the electronics. But use caution as the winds increase. This is also a judgment call. As the
winds increase, reduce the height until you feel comfortable.
4.
In the event of lightening, take the unit down immediately. (It’s a 31ft aluminum pole
going straight up in the air!)
5.
Use the leveling bubble to balance your HI-POD. If your unit is unbalanced it may be
unstable.
