8. Further Instructions for Use and Care
■
Note that lamp stands must be placed on a sufficiently strong, level
surface to ensure maximum stability and load capacity.
■
Follow the instructions regarding the maximum load capacity of your
stand model (see Technical Data)
■
Please note that moisture on the center column elements of the stand
significantly reduces the holding force and the center column segment
can sink downwards under load accordingly. If necessary, therefore, dry
the center column elements with a soft, absorbent cloth (e.g. made of
cotton).
■
In general, all elements of this lamp tripod are maintenance-free. Howe-
ver, regular removal of sand, dust and other impurities is recommended.
If you notice a scratching or crunching noise when moving the center
column segments, please remove the impurities with a soft, damp cloth.
■
When adjusting the center column with mounted equipment, for your
own safety and for the protection of the mounted equipment, be sure to
simultaneously hold the corresponding center segment tight with one
hand when loosening the locks.
■
When attaching equipment using 1/4 or 3/8 inch threads, please note
that these have a lower load capacity than the 16 mm spigot (5/8 inch
spigot) connection. For the attachment of heavy equipment, a corres-
pondingly high-quality mount is required.
Then snap the cable holder together with the cable onto the bracket.
Repeat this until the cable is out of the picture. It is recommended to run
the cable down along the rolling stand.
7. Moving the rolling stand
You can move the rolling stand by releasing the brakes on the rollers and
pushing it to its new location. It is essential that you retighten the brakes
there. Check that all locking screws and the clamping lever are tight.
WARNING
Move the stand preferably without mounted equipment and counterweight.
Disconnect the power supply for all installed equipment. If you still want to
move the stand with the equipment installed, call in a second person and
watch out for obstacles on the floor and ceiling. Proceed with caution, as
lever forces can act quickly and strongly with large weights to the side of
the centre of gravity. There is a risk of injury!
NOTE
The rolling stand is not suitable for moving a light source or, for
example, a camera during shooting.
