The ball head can be inserted when the follow-
ing points have been fulfilled:
> The red marking on the handwheel 6 points
to the white area on the ball head.
> The handwheel 6 stands clearly apart from
the shaft of the ball head.
>
The locking ball 3 can be completely
pressed into the shaft.
>
The key points to the symbol 'Lock open'
and cannot be pulled out.
If the ball head has not been pretensioned, carry
out the following steps:
1. Remove cover from lock, if required insert
key.
2. Turn key clockwise.
3. Pull out handwheel in direction of arrow 1
and hold firmly.

direction of arrow

ing balls into the ball head. Do not touch the
handwheel after pretensioning.
Inserting the ball head
When inserting the ball head do not keep
your hand in the area of the handwheel,
as otherwise this can get trapped and there is a
risk of injuries.
