SECOND STEP: COLUMN AND FULCRUM
Once the dolly is ready, the column can be introduced. Notice that there is one guiding pin in the
base of the dolly to mark the position of the column.
To take the column out of the crate use a strap as shown in the fig.
10.14. Notice that lifting the column from this point it will slightly tilt,
guide gently the column using the hands to take it out of the crate.
Once it is out, let it rest in the four legs or use two apple boxes to
change the straps in order to lift it straight and introduce it into the
dolly.
To introduce the column into the dolly, use the guiding pin in the
dolly to align it to the column and gently bring it down until the four
screws on the corners of the column can be tighten.
From this point, lift the inner column manually as showed in chapter
2.2 column until there is access to the screw holes to attach the
fulcrum into the column. Remember to loosen the bracers holding the
inner columns.
To lift the fulcrum, block the tilt brake to prevent the fulcrum to spin
while lifting it. Pass the straps under the base as shown in the fig.
10.16.
Introduce the fulcrum in the column noticing that there is one hole
in order to have access to the pan fluid screw. Align the fluid screw
with the hole (loose the pan brake in order to spin it) and introduce it.
Once it is introduced, tight the Allen screws gently until all of them
are introduced and then start tightening them in cross until all of them
are firm.
The dolly and the column should look like fig. 10.19 and now is
ready to assemble the arm.
