ASSEMBLY
1. Insert the telescopic column into the tripod from above, with the twist grip
at the top.
2. Erect the stand, as shown in Fig 1 by slackening the locking knobs at the
base and middle of the column and pulling the legs away from the
column. The tripod will slide down the column and the legs move apart.
3. Re-tighten the locking knobs when the
legs are spread correctly, ensuring the
base of the column is seated in the
locating ring.
4. The extension of the column is set by the
locking collar shown in Fig 1. To extend the
column, grasp the column and turn the
locking collar anticlockwise to unlock.
Extend the column to the desired height
and re-lock by turning the collar
clockwise.
5. Mount the support beam on the tripod
column bracket using the hand nut ‘A’
through the centre hole of the beam and
screw it into the threaded hole on top of
the column as shown in Fig 2, tightening
securely.
6. Attach the lamps to the support
beam using the remaining hand
nuts shown as ’B’, in Fig 2.
NOTE: Each lamp may be swivelled
by slackening the hand screw ‘B’
in Fig 2, or tilted by slackening
the screw ‘C’. Ensure the hand
screws are re-tightened when
adjustments are completed.
The telescopic tripod extends to
allow a maximum lamp height
of 2.3m.
NOTE: In the interests of safety, it is recommended that the tripod legs may be
steadied by placing sand bags or similar weights over each leg if this unit
is used:
a) On uneven or rocky surfaces.
b) With a long extension cable.
c) In windy conditions; or when the extension tube is extended
beyond the normal closed position.
