1. Make absolutely sure that the tripod kinematics are supported at all three corners before loosening
the mounting screws.
2. Have three people holding the tripod kinematics while a fourth person unscrews them.
3. Carefully remove the tripod kinematics from the mounting frame and bring them to the prepared
pallet.
4. The third person turns the tripod kinematics by gripping corner 3 at the motor and axis and setting it
down on the set-down surface (e.g. transport pallet).
5. Hold the tripod kinematics firmly in the upright position by gripping on motors, axes or the mounting
frame.
