Installation
Unpacking
Unpack the pedestal ensuring that all transport packing and retaining fixings are removed,
including the Velcro strap (part no. 3320-268) securing the column lock.
Steering mechanism checks
1. Rotate the CRAB/STEER knob [19] counter-clockwise to select CRAB (x4 wheels)
and turn the steering ring [21], until CRAB mode engages. Check that the pedestal
“crabs” correctly, freely moving as directed by the steering ring without any rotation
of the pedestal base (see Fig. 1).
2. Rotate the CRAB/STEER knob [19] clockwise to select STEER (x1 wheel) and turn
the steering ring [21], until it locks in position and STEER mode engages. Check that
the pedestal turns freely, rotated by the locked steering ring.
Fitting the load
The pedestal is fitted with a standard Vinten four-bolt mounting plate [2] for direct mounting of
Fusion FH/R-145 pan and tilt heads or for use with a Quickfix adaptor. The mounting bolts are
captive in the pedestal and the bolt heads are accessible from the underside of the mounting
plate when the column is fully extended (see Fig. 1).
WARNING! 130kg/286.6 lb LIFTING AID REQUIRED. Use a lifting hoist capable
of safely lifting the product.
WARNING!
1. DO NOT lift the pedestal by the steering ring—use the lifting handles on
top of the pedestal base.
2. DO NOT release the column lock, if the pedestal pressure exceeds 4 bar
(60 psi) without a balancing load mounted. Reduce pressure as
necessary using the Schrader valve cap.
