Leg Friction Adjustment
1.
Should the leg friction require adjustment, open the legs to gain
access to the M5 friction screws on the underside of the tripod.
2.
The correct torque for these M5 screws is 2.5Nm to 3.5Nm Max.
!
CAUTION!
Do not adjust more than required as this
will lead to increased wear and stress on the leg
friction components and damage to the bowl.

Use a torque screwdriver to adjust the M5 screws
to the correct torque. (2.5Nm to 3.5Nm Max)
4.
Always tighten the screws in an opposite pattern
following the numbered pattern in the diagram.
5.
If a torque screwdriver is not available, use a Hex
Key; follow the pattern in the diagram, but only
tighten the screws by a small amount taking care
not to over-tighten.
6.
Test the legs for correct friction and adjust again if
necessary.
