To remove the spreader, press in the attachment release buttons (30) and free each arm
in turn.
To adjust the mid-level spreader:
There are two spread settings. To select maximum (flat) spread, lift the spreader centre
moulding such that lugs can pass the extension arms, and rotate the spread knob
(28) fully
clockwise. To select minimum (45°) spread, lift the spreader centre moulding and rotate the
spread knob
(28) fully anticlockwise.
Extension arms can be individually adjusted by releasing the extension clamps (29) , ex-
tending the arm as required and re-tightening the clamp (29) .
To adjust the tripod:
Adjust the operating height by undoing the leg clamps (21) and pulling the tripod up to the
desired height. Adjust the spreader (29) if necessary.
Tighten the clamps (21) until an audible click is heard and the knob is in the horizontal,
locked position.
In adverse conditions secure the tripod using the tie-down hook (27) , or suspend a weight
from the hook.
NOTE: The spread knob (28) will not rotate when the spreader is loaded. Lift the
spreader centre moulding to allow the knob (28) to rotate freely.
A pointer on the knob (28) indicates maximum or minimum spread setting.
NOTE: Do NOT attempt to fold the tripod if the spreader extension arms are uneven
lengths.
Set all extension arms to the same length
(29) and then fold the tripod.
WARNING! Use care when the tripod is fully extended and the floor
spreader is in the closed position, as stability will be reduced.
