Arsenal® portable containers are designed for ease-of-use and to provide a
convenient and ergonomic way for workers to securely store and transport their
tools while not in use. They are also designed to help reduce the risk of dropped
tools and objects when securely closed or when used with an appropriate tethering
system (refer to Using A Tethering System instructions).
WARNINGS: All warnings and instructions must be read and understood before
using this product. Failure to do so may result in property damage, loss, serious
injury, or death.
• Never exceed the stated weight capacity for any container or its attachment
points.
• Always attach a container to a secure anchoring point. For portable containers
ensure lifting system has the proper rating and compatible connection points.
• Always inspect containers prior to, and after, each use (refer to INSPECTION
instructions).
• Never modify or alter containers in a way that would affect the integrity of the
product.
• A container should not be removed from its anchoring point while at-height
unless removed over a secure area or attached with a 100% tie off system.
• Take care in adjusting containers and their mechanisms (straps, tops, etc.)
when used at-heights.
• Use extra precaution around moving machinery or parts, electrical hazards,
chemical hazards or other apparent hazards.
• When using a portable container limit the amount of weight a worker carries
while climbing and it is recommended to limit attaching a container weighing
more than 25lbs / 11.4kg to a worker's body, tool belt or fall protection harness.
• Ensure connections are compatible when connecting containers to hoisting
systems, stationary locations or other mounting/connection locations.
• Do not connect containers to a tether or other cord that would allow a freefall
to occur.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING & TRANSPORTING CONTAINERS
1. If applicable, close topping mechanism to secure contents inside of the container
prior to hoisting or transporting to heights. [fig. 1]
2. If applicable, attach tool lanyards to the designated anchor points on the
container to complete an appropriate tethering system (refer to Using A Tethering
System instructions). [fig. 2]
3. If hoisting containers, connect container in a compatible fashion to hoisting
system or other transferring device/platform. Make sure connection is secure and
contents are tethered or securely covered before transporting the container.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SECURING CONTAINER TOPS
MODULAR BUCKLE SAFETY TOPS
1. Undo the modular buckle(s) on the sides of the safety top. [fig. 3]
2. Attach the safety top by wrapping the disconnected buckle(s) around the
webbing handle(s) on the portable container. [fig. 4]
3. Reconnect the modular buckle(s). [fig. 5]
4. Cinch down the webbing strap(s) to tighten safety top onto the portable
container to secure contents inside.
ZIPPER SAFETY TOPS
1. Close the zipper on the topping mechanism to secure contents inside of the
container. [fig. 1]

INSPECTION
All tools and/or equipment used in conjunction with containers should be regularly
inspected by a competent person. Always ensure that containers are properly
attached to the worker's tool belt or fall protection harness and are not damaged. If
any part of the tethering system—including a container - has knowingly been involved
in a drop, it must immediately be taken out of service and replaced (refer to Using A
Tethering System instructions).
USING A TETHERING SYSTEM
1. Always keep tools tethered while at heights. When exchanging tools, use one of
the following methods:
a. Use a 100% tie-off by ensuring the tool is tethered to a secondary anchor—or
is secured in a rated container—before disconnecting the tool from the initial
anchor point.
b. Exchange tools over a secure area (e.g. inside a controlled container, over a
platform, etc.).
c. Store all tools, gear, and hardware in a topped container when not in use to
secure them.
2. Required Clearance:
a. When using a tethering system determine the fully extended length of the
lanyard used, plus the length of the anchor attachment, tool attachment and
the tool itself. Add an additional safety factor (recommend 2ft/0.6m), to
ensure there is adequate clearance between where the lanyard is anchored
and the nearest person or sensitive object.
