10. Position the legs so that the
indicators on each Leg Carrier line up
with the leg. This ensures the OBELISK
is set up with the legs at the approved
angle.
11. Install the Leg Restraint Straps (see
section Leg Restraint Straps). Ensure
the straps are adjusted so that all slack
is removed. Where undulations or
obstructions on the worksite surface
prevent a clear path for the Leg
Restraint straps the relevant straps must
be adjusted such that the stability of the
OBELISK is maintained throughout the
activity. Where the strap is forced over
an object causing the strap to raise one
leg off the surface, the OBELISK must
be repositioned.
The OBELISK must never be used
without all four Leg Restraint Straps
correctly fitted and adjusted.
Leg Restraint Straps
Leg Restraint Straps are essential for
the structural stability of the OBELISK.
They must be used at all times, in all
configurations.
The ultimate load capacity of the
OBELISK depends on the ability to
secure the feet against movement by
correct use of the Leg Restraint Straps.
In addition to using the Leg Restraint
Straps, it may be appropriate to securely
attach the feet to the surface, e.g.
concrete slab, to prevent movement of
the OBELISK. Direct attachment of the
feet must not be used as a substitute
for correct OBELISK placement (risk of
overloading).
To attach the Leg Restraint Strap, clip
one of the sewn-in quick links onto
the Leg Restraint Strap Attachment
Point on one leg. Extend the strap via
the adjustment buckle and attach the
second quick link onto the Leg Restraint
Strap Attachment Point on the second,
adjacent leg (see figure below). Do not
attach diagonal facing legs together.
Repeat the process until all legs are
linked in a rectangle.
Grasp the tail end of the webbing
exiting each adjustment buckle and
pull, tightening the strap to remove any
slack. Tighten all four straps evenly to
maintain a rectangular foot and ensure
the OBELISK is set up with the legs at
the approved angle (see 10.).
