Transportation and storage
The pedestal may be dismantled for transportation and storage. Proceed as follows:
Apply the brakes (15).
Set the control valve (6) to the WORK position.
Lower the top stage (4), then set the control valve to PUMP
Remove the load and secure any trim (8) weights in the trim weight stowage (17).
Set the safety catch slide (7) to ON (I) and fully depress both columns until the safety catch
engages.
Release the skid clamp (14).
Release the three rubber foot straps (16) from the struts.
Raise the longer strut (9)(on the fixed skid leg), which will remain raised when released.
Raise and hold the two shorter struts (13), then lift the complete column vertically off the
skid.
Secure the struts with the Velcro strap (10).
Depress the locking plungers and fold the skid legs, ensuring that the plungers lock in the
closed position.
WARNING! Local, national or international regulations may apply to the
transport and storage of pressurized pedestals.
NOTE: It is not necessary to reduce the pedestal pressure prior to transportation or
storage and the pan and tilt head may be removed with the pedestal in the fully
depressed and locked position. However, to facilitate removal of the camera and
mounting, pressure should be reduced to 3.5 bar (50 psi).
WARNING! Ensure that the payload is removed and trim weights are
secured in the trim weight stowage before dismantling the ped-
estal.
WARNING! The column will be unstable if stood on its base.
