www.guardianfall.com phone: (800) 466-6385 fax: (800) 670-7892 Components and Specifications Guardian Fall Protection requires the Arc-O-Pod be used with a compatible SRL certified for use in Rescue/Confined Space applications, such as the 3-Way SRL (part #s 10974 and 10981). To mount fall protection equipment (SRL or winch) to Arc-O-Pod, a bracket designed to be used in combination with the SRL/winch is required.
Arc-O-Pod Set Up: * The Arc-O-Pod is easier to set up with two workers. If setting up system alone, complete steps 1 - 3 with Arc-O-Pod lying on ground. 1. Hold the collapsed Arc-O-Pod vertically with its feet on the ground. Remove Detent Pins from top of Arc-O-Pod. 2. Fully spread legs of Arc-O-Pod and replace Detent Pins removed in Step 1 to secure Adjustable Legs in an outward position. 3. Remove all Locking Pins from Arc-O-Pod Adjustable Legs. Fully extend Adjustable Legs.
www.guardianfall.com phone: (800) 466-6385 fax: (800) 670-7892 3-Way SRL Set Up: NEVER use 3-Way SRL for material hoisting or for routine personnel hoisting; doing so may result in increased wear of internal components. 3-Way SRL should only be used in personnel hoisting for the purposes or rescue/retrieval (to raise or lower a worker that has experienced a fall). For routine personnel or material hoisting, always use an independent winch, such as Guardian’s Rescue Winch (part # 15028).
3. Remove Detent Pin at Arc-O-Pod Pulley. Release sufficient amount of lifeline cable and run cable over Arc-O-Pod Pulley and down through top of Arc-O-Pod, so that it hangs over confined space entry location. Re-insert Detent Pin to ensure cable will stay in line with Pulley. www.guardianfall.com Guardian Fall Protection 4. Attach complete and compatible PFAS to 3-Way SRL snap hook. All PFAS equipment must be selected and deemed compatible with Arc-O-Pod and 3-Way SRL by a Competent Person.
