2. Place the tripod in an upright position. Loosen the locking ring,
spread the legs and lock by tightening the screw. The support
bars should be horizontal. See Figure 50 on page 62 for
component names.
3. Adjust the height of the legs. Loosen the hand screws (1) at the
lower end of the legs, extend or shorten as required and lock by
tightening the screws. Hammer the peg through the hole (2) to
the ground to secure the leg. If the ground is too hard for the
pegs, fill the tool bag with sand and/or stones. Attach the bag to
the support bar with the straps.
