This document describes the Varytec Wind Up 85 kg TÜV lighting stand, a robust and versatile solution for mounting and positioning spotlights. The manual provides essential information for safe operation, setup, and maintenance, ensuring users can effectively utilize the stand while adhering to safety guidelines.
The primary function of the Varytec Wind Up 85 kg TÜV lighting stand is to provide stable and height-adjustable support for spotlights and other lighting fixtures. It is designed to offer a secure platform, allowing users to position their lighting equipment at various heights to achieve desired illumination effects. The stand's crank mechanism facilitates easy and precise height adjustments, making it suitable for a range of applications, from stage productions to event lighting. Its construction with three feet ensures a broad and stable base, minimizing the risk of tipping when properly set up and loaded within its specified limits. The inclusion of two extendable telescopes further enhances its versatility, allowing for significant height extension.
Key usage features of the lighting stand revolve around its adjustability and stability. The stand features a crank mechanism that allows for smooth and controlled extension and retraction of its telescopic tubes. This is crucial for safely raising and lowering heavy lighting fixtures. The stand's three-foot design provides a wide footprint for enhanced stability, which is particularly important when supporting equipment at maximum height or in environments where accidental bumps might occur. For uneven ground, the stand incorporates adjustable feet, allowing users to level the stand and ensure optimal stability. This feature is vital for preventing the stand from tipping over, which could lead to personal injury or property damage. The stand is equipped with a 3/8" mount, making it compatible with speakers that have a 35 mm flange, expanding its utility beyond just lighting. A crossbar is also included, providing a convenient attachment point for multiple fixtures and aiding in even weight distribution. The design emphasizes a centric load distribution, which is critical for maintaining stability and preventing overload. Users are explicitly cautioned against exceeding the maximum load capacity to ensure safe operation.
The setup process is detailed to guide users through assembling and deploying the stand safely. It begins with loosening safety screws and unfolding the stand feet until they engage in their desired positions, securing the base. Subsequent steps involve adjusting the feet for stability on uneven surfaces and then attaching the crossbar to the stand's top end. The manual stresses the importance of evenly distributing the weight of attached spotlights to maintain the stand's balance. The telescopic tubes are extended using the crank, with safety bolts ensuring that each section locks into place at the desired height. The process involves carefully loosening and tightening safety screws on tube clamps to secure the extended positions of both the square tube and the upper extension tube. Finally, a slight counter-clockwise turn of the crank is recommended to avoid over-tensioning the wire rope, a small but important detail for the longevity and smooth operation of the crank mechanism.
Dismounting the stand is essentially the reverse of the setup process, with an emphasis on safety and careful handling. Users are instructed to gradually lower the telescopic tubes using the crank, securing each section with its respective safety screw as it retracts. Before fully collapsing the stand, all spotlights and the crossbar must be removed. The adjustable feet are pushed back into the tubes, and the stand feet are folded up. The manual advises packing all parts back into their original packaging, if possible, and storing them in a dry place to protect against moisture, which contributes to the stand's overall maintenance and longevity.
Maintenance features are primarily focused on safe handling and storage to prevent damage and ensure continued functionality. The manual highlights the importance of proper packaging for transport and storage to protect the product from vibration, dust, and moisture. This implies that regular inspection of the stand for any signs of wear or damage, particularly to the crank mechanism, safety bolts, and telescopic tubes, would be beneficial. While not explicitly detailed as a maintenance schedule, the emphasis on careful handling during setup and dismounting, and proper storage, serves as a foundational aspect of maintaining the device. The warning about possible staining from the rubber feet suggests a need for awareness regarding the surfaces on which the stand is placed, implying that protective underlays might be considered a form of preventative maintenance for the environment where the stand is used. Adherence to all safety instructions and regulations applicable in the user's country is also a crucial aspect of responsible operation and, by extension, maintenance of the device's integrity and safety. The availability of optional accessories like a truss adapter and a transport case further supports the idea of maintaining the stand's condition and expanding its utility.
