16.1 Assemble track locks (if fitted) (
16.2 Assemble castors and track locks (if fitted) to skid legs (
).
16.3 Assemble centre casting and skid legs (
).
16.4 Align wheels (studio skid only) (
).
Track locks
17
The track locking pin is fitted in wheel lock housing (11) directly above the castor. The angle of the
wheel lock housing relative to the leg tube (and thus the direction of the wheel when the track lock is engaged)
is determined by the dowel pin (21) fitted in one of three holes in the wheel lock housing. Final positioning of
the wheel lock housings for alignment of the wheels is detailed in
18
The dowel pins are fitted as follows:
18.1 Fixed leg: in centre hole (in line with track lock pin).
18.2 Folding leg: in side hole which will be nearer to carrying handle when leg is assembled to centre
casting.
19
To assemble the track locking pins (
19.1 Fit a spring (10) over the stem of wheel lock plunger (11), assemble to wheel lock housing (20)
and hold in compression to expose the hole for the Spirol pin. Drive in Spirol pin (9) to retain.
19.2 Apply Loctite 415 to the thread of wheel lock plunger (11) and screw on knob (8). Note that the
knobs on the track locking pins are colour coded. The track locking pin on the fixed leg has a red knob
and those on the folding legs have black knobs.
Castor assemblies
20
To assemble the castors (OB skid) (
):
20.1 Degrease thread on castor assembly (31).
20.2 Assemble castor to leg with washer (7) and slotted nut (6). Apply Loctite 242 to thread before
fitting nut. Use wheel nut spanner 3319-900SP to tighten slotted nut (6).
20.3 Install foot support (5) and secure with two screws (4).
