Optional wheels
A set of 160 mm (6.3 in.) wheels (Part No. 3329-30) is available to convert the skid from studio to
OB use. A set of 125 mm (5in.) wheels with cable guards (Part No. 3329-43) is available to convert
an OB skid to a studio skid.
To replace the wheels:
Remove the column from the skid and turn the skid upside-down.
Unscrew and remove the countersunk screws

the shaft
Remove the wheel assembly, complete with cable guard.
Repeat for remaining two wheel assemblies. Store the wheels for future use.

Transportation and storage
The pedestal may be dismantled for transportation and storage. Proceed as follows:
Apply the brakes
.
Set the safety catch slide
to ON (I) and fully depress the moving column
until the
safety catch engages.
Remove the camera and accessories.
Using the Schrader valve cap, reduce pedestal pressure to 3.5 bar (50 psi).
Release the safety catch
and allow the column to rise under hand restraint.
WARNING! Local, national or international regulations may apply to the
transport and storage of pressurized pedestals.
NOTE:
It is not necessary to reduce the pedestal pressure prior to transportation or
storage and the pan and tilt head may be removed with the pedestal in the fully
depressed and locked position. However, to facilitate removal of the camera and
mounting, pressure should be reduced to 3.5 bar (50 psi).
WARNING! Do not reduce pedestal pressure below 3.5 bar (50 psi). This
ensures that the elevating mechanism remains in tension.
WARNING! Ensure that the payload is removed and trim weights are
secured in the trim weight stowage before dismantling the ped-
estal.
