which can be inserted into its standard base (#500019-001) to create a 70" high anchor point or can be inserted into the
#TFAT-14C to create up to a 14' high anchor point. All specifi cations, instructions, and procedures provided within this
manual or upon Pelsue Specifi cation Documents are based upon and only valid for usage with a Pelsue #500573-001
Composite Tower Assembly. The T.A. Pelsue Company can not verify equipment safety and/or compliance when utilized
with anything other than Pelsue approved bases and accessories.
