The compressed air provided to the product must be dry, without oil and dust.
The pneumatic power should be provided through the intake valve (1) using the manual pump which is
included with the product or by means of an air-compressor. Remove valve cap and inflate the System.
The column should be filled with clean pressurized air or nitrogen until it compensates the weight of the
Camera configuration.
To pressurize the Pedestal connect either the manual air pump provided with the system or the air-com-
pressor to the intake valve (1), by screwing in the pump connection.
Inflate the system until the column rises and reaches and maintains the top upper position. Remove the
air intake connection.
Bleed the air excess, pushing the pin in the intake valve (1) with the reversed cap until the Camera moves
freely up and down through the entire range of the column stroke. The Camera is now balanced.
Recap the valve (1).
