USE AND PRECAUTIONS: HEXAPOD is a temporary and transportable anchorage point, intended to be used to allow access to confined spaces:
tanks, silos, sewers, wells, etc. with a maximum diameter of 2.10 m or maximum width of 2 m for non-circular openings.
It complies with European Regulation 2016/425 on PPE and in particular with Standard EN 795:2012 Type B allowing its use as a fall arrest anchorage
point. The HEXAPOD also complies with Standard EN 1808-§ 9.3 allowing its use as a suspension structure, as well as Machinery Directive 2006/42/
EC (formerly 98/37 EC) for lifting loads.
Use as anchorage point for lifting persons:

The HEXAPOD can be used in combination with self-retracting fall arresters (EN 360), rescue devices (EN 1496 class A or B) and/or suspension work
devices, provided the combination of said equipment does not compromise the operation thereof and does not impair its effectiveness when arresting
a fall.
The anchorage point of the person's fall arrest system must be different from the anchorage point of the person lift system.
Use as anchorage point for lifting loads:

The HEXAPOD can be used in combination with suitable lifting equipment (such as winch, hoist, etc.).
Maximum load directly applied to the horizontal rail: 500 kg
Maximum load applied to a tripod foot: 250 kg
The maximum loads indicated must be applied individually; it is not possible to combine several loads at the same time on the various anchor points
of the HEXAPOD.
WARNING, whatever the use of the HEXAPOD, it is ESSENTIAL that the accessories (such as fixing plate) and/or lifting devices installed on the
HEXAPOD are original or certified by KRATOS SAFETY.
Installation:
Assembling the two tripods: see Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 & Fig. 4
1- Loosen the lower foot retaining strap as much as possible (A).
2- Move apart the three feet of a tripod as much as possible, then put in place the three ball pins (B).
3- Remove the three safety pins from the aluminium feet (C).
4- Adjust the height of the tripod, sliding the aluminium tubes one by one, and reinsert the safety pins (C); adjust the level if necessary by repeating
steps 3 & 4; the three feet must be set to the same height. Once you have reached the required height, make sure the feet are locked correctly
with the safety pins (C).
5- Set the length of the foot strap to the correct level (A).
6- Follow the same procedure for the second tripod.
7- Position the 2 tripods opposite each other as indicated below (Fig. 4). Make sure the tripods are positioned so that the feet fitted with plates for winch-
type rescue devices are aligned with the rail once the rail has been mounted.
