PREPARATION
(1) Open the tripod legs sufficiently enough for the instrument to be
stable.
(2) Assure that the station point is located directly beneath the center hole
in the tripod head.
(3) Firmly press the tripod ferrules into the ground.
(4) Level the top surface of the tripod head.
• A precise leveling is necessary when the plumb bob is used for the next
section, “centering”.
(5) Fasten firmly the clamp screws on the tripod legs.
(6) Place the instrument on the tripod head. Insert the instrument clamp
screw on the tripod into the center hole of the instrument’s base plate
and tighten.
NOTE • Do not carry the instrument mounted on the tripod on your
shoulder.
