FIGURE 6-4. Mast attachment to tripod base

Loosen the six bolts on the tripod base. FIGURE 6-4 shows the location of

four 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 tabs. 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

tension bolts after the adjustments have been made.
