Fix the pan and tilt Head directly on the top of the Pedestal or – if needed - using one of
the accessories (see 2.2 Compatible equipment – Optional accessories) and secure the 4
retaining bolts underneath the steering wheel with the Allen key.
Place the Camera on the pan and tilt Head and add all required additional equipment
(lens, prompter, viewfinder, pan bars, etc).
Place some (2/3) trim counterweights on the steering wheel plaque.
Release the safety latch (26).
WARNING!!
The four 3/8’’ bolts provided with the Pedestal to secure
the pan and tilt Head/accessory have a specific reduced size of ½’’.
Please avoid to use standard 3/8’’ bolts (size 1’’), as they are too long.

RESSURIZING THE
P
EDESTAL AND BALANCING THE LOAD
The compressed air provided to the product must be dry, without oil and dust.
The pneumatic power should be provided through the intake valve (28) using the manual
pump which is included with the product or by means an air-compressor.
The column should be filled with clean pressurized air or nitrogen until it compensates the
weight of the Camera configuration.
To pressurize the Pedestal connect either the manual air pump provided with the system
or the air-compressor to the intake valve (28), by screwing in the pump connection.
Inflate the system until the column rises and reaches and maintains the top upper posi-
tion.
Remove the air intake connection.
Bleed the air excess, pushing the pin in the intake valve (28) until the Camera moves
freely up and down through the entire range of the column stroke. The Camera is now
balanced.
