Legs locked by ball-pin (option)
Tube locked by pin and safety pin
Anchor point : 3 per Tracpode
1 - Spread the 3 legs of the Tracpode : check that the tubes are
properly abut against the spacers.
2 - Fit the leg locking ball pins (option) if the Tracpode is
equipped with these pins.
3 - Adjust the height of the legs (6 leg adjustment positions
possible), then lock the legs with the pin and safety pin.
Note : Never use the 7th hole to adjust the height of the
Tracpode ; it is only used to fit a mounting bracket
for a Blocfor or Carol winch. The diameter of this
hole is smaller, making this operation impossible.
4 - If the floor is slippery, or if the Tracpode pads are not in good
condition, install the strap to lock the Tracpode legs. Slightly
tension the strap so that the legs are in contact with the spa-
cers at the Tracpode head.
If the ground is soft, install a plate under each leg which is suf-
ficiently strong to stabilize the Tracpode and keep it from
penetrating into the ground. In this case, you must absolutely
use the leg securing strap.
Note : If you have any doubt as concerns the quality and
nature of the ground, you must absolutely install
the leg securing strap.
For certain operations, the Tracpode can be secured to the
ground. For this application, use pins or anchors in the holes pro-
vided in the Tracpode feet.
