(3) Reeve the cable over the split-mount pulley and, using carabiner, PN 10089207, mount the
pulley to the tripod head to the RIGHT of the leg to which the winch is to be mounted.
Note: The winch snaphook must hang to the interior of the tripod.
(4) If using a leg-mounted fall arrester, such as the Workman Rescuer, lay the fall arrester to the
right of any other tripod leg and extract enough line to reeve the cable over a split-mount pulley
and attach to the tripod head to the right of the leg to which the fall arrester is to be mounted.
(5) Raise the tripod to the desired working height.
(6) Insert the winch positive locking pin (H) partially through the tripod leg to which the winch is to
be mounted, starting from the left side of the outside face of the leg. See Fig. 8 .
(7) Mount the winch on the tripod leg placing the slot (I) in the winch mounting bracket over the pin
(H) from the previous step.

Be sure to insert the tripod leg pin (H) completely through the tripod leg and winch housing.
(8) Insert the ball lock pin (J) through the holes (K) at the top of the hoist mounting bracket and
behind the tripod leg.
(9) If using a leg-mounted fall arrester, mount that product to the previously chosen tripod leg using
mounting bracket, P/N 506216 and 506232. Pin the bottom pin of the bracket through one of the
holes in the lower leg of the tripod. The upper pin of the bracket pins on the inside face of the
upper Tripod leg. For most applications, it is ergonomically preferable to mount the fall arrester
at waist level.
(10) Install the tripod leg base strap and check to be sure the tripod is stabilized and plumb. Check
all leg pins to ensure secure fastening.
(11) With all equipment now in place on the tripod, make final adjustments and last check for plumb-
ness, foot traction, leg base strap tautness and stability.
