Assembly
If not already done, assemble the system as follows:
Tripod and floor spreader
Lift the tripod out of the case using the finger holes just below the top clamps.
Release the leg tie strap
Secure the spreader to the tripod feet with the rubber straps
To adjust the tripod:
Adjust the operating height by undoing the leg clamps
and pulling the tripod up to the
desired height. Adjust the spreader
if necessary.
Tighten the clamps
until an audible click is heard and the knob is in the horizontal,
locked position.
In adverse conditions secure the tripod using the tie-down hook
, or suspend a weight
from the hook.
NOTE:
Once assembled, keep the spreader attached to the tripod.
WARNING!
1.
Always set the floor spreader to the widest practicable setting to
increase stability. Use care when the tripod is fully extended and
the floor spreader is in the closed position, as stability will be
reduced.
2.
Do NOT hang items on pan bar handles
. This will severely
reduce tripod stability.
3.
Use care when setting the tripod on uneven surfaces, particularly
stairs—stability will be reduced. Using a mid-level spreader is
recommended on stairs (see
4.
Secure the tripod using the tie-down hook
if the tripod is
mounted in an elevated position above personnel—such as a
platform or gantry.
