To re-align the skid wheels:
Remove the column from the skid.
Engage the track lock (8) on each castor.
Remove two screws (7.1) from the foot support (7) on the fixed leg and remove the foot sup-
port.
Using a suitable spanner remove nut (8.1) (a spanner is available from Vinten Part No.
3319-900SP).
Apply Loctite 242 to the nut, re-install and tighten lightly.
Align the wheel on the fixed leg so that it runs parallel to the leg.
Using a suitable straight line on the studio floor, check that over a distance of 3.6 m (12 feet)
the deviation does not exceed 5 cm (2 in.). Re-adjust the wheel until this is achieved. If it
cannot be achieved, the wheels on the other two legs should be re-aligned.
Once the wheels have been correctly aligned, tighten nuts (8.1).
Install foot support (7) on each leg and secure with two screws (7.1).
