Installation and Use
* 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. Reinstall Locking
Pins with Adjustable Legs in fully extended positions.
The Arc-O-Pod is only rated for use by a single user, unless assisted rescue of a fallen worker is
required.
In the event an assisted rescue is required, a second PFAS may be connected to the Arc-O-Pod for the
purposes of protecting the person performing the rescue. Never make more than one connection to
same attachment point. Combined worker capacity must never exceed 620 lbs.
Arc-O-Pod Set Up:
4. Place Arc-O-Pod over confined space entry point. Adjust Arc-O-Pod as necessary by removing Locking Pin
from one leg at a time and adjusting leg higher or lower, then reinserting pin to secure leg at proper
height. Arc-O-Pod must be positioned level above confined space entry point.
5. Remove all slack from Adjustment Chain by loosening the quick connects at the feet of Arc-O-Pod legs.
DO NOT use Arc-O-Pod if Adjustment Chain is not present; doing so could result in serious injury or death.
