FIGURE 5-4. Mast attachment to tripod base

Loosen the nine bolts on the tripod base. FIGURE 5-4 shows the location of
six of these bolts. The remaining bolts are in the same position on the third
tripod leg. Slide the mast into the tripod base, making sure that it extends
below the lower bolts and rests on the tab. Tighten the six bolts to secure the
mast.

Plumb the tripod by adjusting the northeast and south facing legs. With a level
on the East side of the mast, adjust the Northeast leg for plumb. With the level
on the South side of the mast, adjust the South leg for plumb. Tighten the
T-knobs after the adjustments have been made.
