The OBELISK may be assembled as
follows:
1. Adjust all legs to the expected
operating height and secure with the
attached locking pins. Do not over
extend the legs beyond the warning
signs.
NOTE: To adjust the bottom leg section
remove the bottom Locking Pin. To
adjust the middle leg section, remove
both Locking Pins.
2. After assessing the proposed location,
select the foot option most appropriate
for the surface (Foot or Spike). Select
Spikes when on uneven surfaces. When
feet are used, ensure the feet are flat on
the surface.
3. Correctly orientate one Leg Carrier
to allow insertion of the Top Beam.
Slide the Top Beam into the Leg Carrier,
adjust the Top Beam to the expected
width position and secure with the
attached Locking Pin.
4. Slide the Carriage onto the Top
Beam, adjust to the expected position
(normally the centre of the Top Beam)
and secure with the attached Locking
Pin. No more than two Carriages are
permitted on the Top Beam.
5. Correctly orientate the second Leg
Carrier to allow insertion of the Top
Beam. Slide the Leg Carrier onto the
Top Beam, adjust the Leg Carrier to
the expected width position and secure
with the attached Locking Pin.
6. At this point it may be appropriate to
attach the required rigging or personal
fall protection equipment to the Swivel
Anchor Point(s). Be aware that once
the OBELISK is raised into its working
position these points may be out of
reach.
7. Using additional personnel, if
required, raise the OBELISK upright
by lifting the two legs positioned away
from the ground and then raising the
head assembly upwards, allowing the
OBELISK to pivot on the lower feet into
an upright position.
TAKE CARE - MANUAL
HANDLING AND ENTRAPMENT
RISK DURING THIS OPERATION.
IF THE HEIGHT OF THE OBELISK
REQUIRES ADJUSTMENT ONCE
IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION,
ALWAYS HOLD THE LEG
SECTIONS ABOVE THE LEG
BEING ADJUSTED TO PREVENT
COLLAPSE WHEN REMOVING
THE LOCKING PIN(S).
8. Re-check all connections and Locking
Pins are securely fitted before moving
the OBELISK into the working position.
9. Move the OBELISK into the working
position, whilst maintaining the safety
of the users.
