Pressurizing the pedestal using the
portable pump
!
WARNING! Do not
pressurize the pedestal beyond the
maximum safe working pressure indicated by the leading
edge of the red sector on the gauge. The pedestal is
fitted with a pressure relief valve as a safeguard against
over-pressurization.
Do not
attempt to adjust the
pressure relief valve.
!
WARNING!
A pressurized pedestal will rise rapidly when
safety catch is released.
Do not
release safety catch
when pedestal is pressurized and balancing load is not
installed. Always restrain the pedestal by hand pressure
on the steering ring when the safety catch is released.
To pressurize the pedestal using the portable *pump, proceed as
follows:
Attach the intended payload,
ensuring that all items such as pan
bars, prompters, lenses etc., are fitted.
1.
Set the safety catch slide (6) to the LOCK position (I) and fully
depress the moving column until the safety catch engages.
2.
Unclip the hose from the pump.
Turn the Steering ring (22) so the
pressure gauge (2) can be seen through the weight tray.
3.
Screw the valve adaptor to the pedestal charging valve (24).Ensure
the pump nozzle is fitted securely onto the adaptor and is firmly
locked in position.
4.
Stand over the pump with both feet on the base treads.
5.
Gripping the handle with both hands, and using full steady strokes,
pressurize the pedestal to the required pressure. Do not exceed the
maximum working pressure, indicated by the leading edge of the
red sector on the gauge.
*Pump model
may differ.
6.
Disconnect the pump hose and valve adaptor from the pedestal
charging valve.
