Place the pillar on the floor, then extend the Upper Pillar toward the ceiling.
When the Top Rubber Cup reaches the ceiling, tighten the M6x20 bolt
temporally to fix the pillar length.
This is the exact size between the floor and the ceiling without compressing
the spring.
Remove the pillar and lay on the floor.
You will extend the pillar 20mm more. (see Fig. A)
1)
Loosen the M6x20 bolt
2)
Extend the Lower Pillar 20mm more, then
3)
Tighten the bolt firmly. (tightening torque =
8 N.m
)
Now you get the correct pillar length.
1) Place the Upper Rubber Cup against the ceiling then push up to compress
the internal spring.
2) While keeping the spring compressed,
3) Slide the Lower Pillar and align it correctly while bringing it in contact
with the floor. (see Fig. B)
!
If you see red plastic part beneath the Top Rubber Cup
when you setup the pillar, it's the warning sign that the
pillar is not extended enough.
Remove from the ceiling, adjust the pillar length properly,
and try to install again.
Loosen the M6x20 bolt on the black metal ring of the Pillar Joint.
(Do not loosen the upper bolt)
Now the pillar is ready to extend.

Grab the Upper Pillar and try to pull down in order to confirm
if the Pillar Joint is locked properly.
!
This confirmation must be done. If the pillar has
fallen down without this confirmation, Minoura
will not be responsible to any damage caused by
this accident.
If the pillar has been shortened even if you setup
properly, do not use the stand and contact your
local dealer or distributor in your country to get
replacement parts.

To avoid any chance of the pillar falling, hold the Upper Pillar to the
ceiling or the wall with the supplied plastic tie, or directly hold the
Top Rubber Cup to the ceiling by screwing at the designated point.
(see Fig. C)
This step is mandatory and critical that you complete.
Wrap the tie around the pillar just beneath the Top Rubber Cup and
tighten it, put the screw in the hole on the tip of the tie, then screw it
to the ceiling or wall.
Make sure the area you choose to place the screw has a solid backing
such as a stud or similar. Do not install into dry wall only.
Loosen the M6x15 bolt, slide the Lock Plate along the groove on the Lower
Pillar toward the Pillar Joint, then tighten the bolt firmly (
8 N.m
) when it
touches the Pillar Joint.
This works as a safety precaution to prevent the pillar from sliding even if
the Pillar Joint has loosened.
