6. INSPECTION
6.1 DAILY INSPECTION
The Tripod must be inspected before each use as described in Sections 6.1.1 to 6.1.5. Report any
problems or concerns to your supervisor, and do not use the equipment until they have approved doing
so.
6.1.1 Cleaning and Lubrication
If required, clean and lubricate the Tripod and all its parts as outlined in Section 7. Do not use solvents or
other chemicals to clean the base.
6.1.2 Physical Damage
Inspect the Tripod and all accessories for physical damage; bent parts, loose or missing hardware or
parts, and missing, or illegible labels (see Figure 4). Replacement labels are available from your dealer by
ordering the part number typically shown in the lower right hand corner of each label.
Note: Not all labels shown may be present on your Tripod, as some are related to standards and certifications that
may not apply to your jurisdiction.
Figure 4, Tripod Labels
While minor cosmetic damage will not affect the structural integrity of the Tripod, a seriously damaged
unit MUST BE removed from service and returned to an authorized service center for repair prior to
further use.
Additionally, inspect any accessories being used with the Tripod as instructed in the Operators Manual
provided by the respective manufacturer at the time of purchase.
