QUAD POD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Drawings are for illustration purposes only and may not depict actual product.
Check ground under stand to ensure it is firm
and level. It should be set up on fairly even
ground. NEVER on the side of a hill or any area
that will create a sloping angle on the platform.
This could result in platform tipping over while in
use. If you are setting up the Quad Pod on
slightly uneven ground, be sure to level out the
ground under feet of the Quad Pod so that ALL
feet are firmly planted and platform is as close to
level as possible.
Once the Quad Pod is positioned, use the 4
Ground Stakes to secure each foot by driving
one stake through the hole on each Quad Foot.
.
The Platform Enclosure WILL NOT provide
security or prevent a fall. Fall Restraints ARE
NOT provided with this Quad Pod

One person will stand at the base of the Quad Pod and off to
one side while holding the Corner Legs or Cross Braces to help
prevent platform feet from sliding during lift. Two people will
stand at opposite ends of each side of the Quad Pod starting
at the Foot Platform Assembly (as depicted Above).
The two people at the Foot Platform side will gently lift and slowly
walk the Quad Pod upward using the side legs to guide it to a level
and upright position while the person at the base maintains pressure
on the pivoting feet to prevent sliding. NEVER stand directly under, in
front or behind Quad Pod during lifting procedure. As the Quad Pod
nears its upright position, maintain control and gently settle it onto all
four feet.
Once upright, inspect Quad Pod legs to make sure
they are straight and level. Re-Check and tighten
all bolts. Inspect the feet to make sure they are all
on solid, level ground. Finally, anchor all four legs
of Quad Pod by driving Ground Stakes through
the holes in each Quad Feet . Re-check to make
sure Quad Pod is stable, level and secure.
