Step 4.
Insert the Hauler hook into the Hauler interface and apply a fast downward force on the Hauler grip handles to raise the barrier.
Once the Archer 1200’s weight has been shifted towards the Archer 1200 wheels one can easily move the barrier to the desired
location.

Transfer the second Archer 1200 barrier 3ft (.91 m) away from the first barrier at a 30-degree angle using the set square.
Retrieve the set square from the rear of the Archer 1200 barrier and open it up. Lay down the set square with the shorter side
along the first barrier. Transfer the third barrier 3ft (.91 m) meters away from the second barrier at a 30-degree angles using
the set square.

Step 8.
A very important step in the installation of the Archer-Guard is to ensure all the wheels are up on the three barriers. This is done
by removing the locking pin on the wheel bracket. Afterwards the locking pin has been removed simply lift the wheel bracket to
the lock up position and secure it place with the pin.
