Cable guards
The cable guards
(10)
fitted to the studio version are height-adjustable and should be set as re-
quired. Adjustment is carried out by slackening the knobs
(9)
, setting the cable guards at the re-
quired height and re-tightening the knobs.
Cable clamp
A cable clamp
(18)
is provided on the fixed leg of the skid.
Crab steering
Directional control of the pedestal is achieved by rotating the steering ring
(3)
mounted at the top
of the column. This rotates all three aligned wheels simultaneously, providing crab steering.
The steering system is geared so that the skid wheels turn by the same amount as the steering
ring. This ensures, for example, that turning the steering ring by 90
°
will also cause the pedestal
to change direction by 90
°.
The steering ring is fitted with a movable indicator
(4)
which can be used to mark the straight-
ahead position of the ring and thus provide a reference point.
