Safety Instructions

The systems are rated to the loads stated. The end user is responsible for ensuring the loads are securely fastened. Rolatube Technology does not accept liability or provide warranty for usage deviating from the enclosed instructions.

  1. Before deploying the tripod please read all warnings below.
  2. Avoid contact with heavy and sharp objects, in storage do not stack anything on top of Rolatubes.
  3. Do not use the tripod if there is visible damage.
  4. The end user must assess the suitability of the pegs provided for the intended deployment environment, and replace with more suitable products if necessary.
  5. Rolatube tripod systems are rated for wind speeds of up to 100kph (62 mph) when pegged to the ground. The maximum wind rating is based on the unloaded tripod correctly deployed with pegs or foot spikes. The end user or system integrator is responsible for ensuring the system is safe with the top load mounted.
Warnings
  1. Top load limits are subject to the user assessing the ground conditions. If the feet slip then these safe load limits are significantly compromised and the pegs, spikes or leg ties should be used.
  2. Ensure the deployment site is as flat as possible and clear of any cables or equipment that represents an electric shock hazard.
  3. Do not deploy near power lines, in thunderstorms or winds exceeding 100kph (62mph).
  4. Do not exceed the rated top load of the tripod.
  5. Ensure any top load is securely fastened.
  6. Do not allow the tripod legs to bend.
  7. Ensure the deployment site is clear of any underground hazards before using pegs.
  8. If used, ensure pegs are secure for duration of deployment.
  9. Consideration must be given to the location of any cable from the top load to avoid trip hazards.
  10. Consideration must be given when deploying in proximity to an aircraft landing site for aircraft movement.
  11. Rolatube tripods are only designed to function with the top load in the vertical axis.
Deployment Instructions

Follow the illustrated sequence for the mode you require. Load ratings shown in the illustrations: 40kg (88lb) at the 25° leg angle; 20kg (44lb) with 650mm legs at the 45° leg angle.
