AL1 / AL2 Standard Series User Manual 

Primary Guying Only (2 - 10 Meters) 

5. Level the Tripod  

A. Level the tripod by using the two bubble levels on the top of the tripod. The perpendicular 

positioning of 2 bubble levels assures easy, accurate leveling. 

B. When the air bubbles in both levels are centered between the level marks at the middle of 

each bubble level, the tripod is level.  

C.  If both bubbles are not centered, adjust the telescoping legs using the turn knobs until  

the air bubbles in both levels are centered.  

D.  Fully tighten the turn knob on each leg.  

Warning:  

Improper leveling can result in excessive leaning when fully deployed, 

which can  damage the system and cause serious bodily harm

 

4. Raise the Tripod  

A.  Loosen the turn knob on each of the 3 tripod legs. Make sure the legs are fully extended 

and all 3 base plates are flat on the ground. 

B.  If a leg does not extend easily, check that the turn knob has been properly loosened and 

then pull on the leg until it extends fully. (This may happen the 1st time a new mast is 

deployed and will abate with several uses.)  

C.  Place the tripod back on the ground making sure all 3 base plates are flat and level. 

D.  Tighten the turn knobs on each of the 3 telescoping legs
