Cable guard

The height-adjustable cable guard is lowered by depressing the recessed cable guard buttons
[12]. These buttons are located on the side of the base, near each wheel. When lowered, the
cable guard can be raised in predefined increments as required (see Fig. 1).

Using the column lock

The column lock [5] locks the column in the fully depressed position (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 13).

A.

To release the column lock, push down on the steering ring [21] against residual
pressure and rotate the column lock catch [5] downward into the OFF position.

B.

To engage the column lock, rotate the column lock catch [5] upward into the vertical
position. Fully depress the column [27] until the lock engages.

CAUTION! Cable guards should be set to the minimum height possible, to
prevent the pedestal damaging studio power and data cables.

WARNING!
1. DO NOT release the column lock, if the pedestal pressure exceeds 4 bar

(60 psi) without a balancing load installed. Reduce as necessary using
the Schrader valve cap.

2. DO NOT lean over the pedestal. An over-pressurised pedestal may rise

rapidly when the column lock is released, causing personal injury.

CAUTION! Do not reduce pedestal pressure below 3.5 bar (50 psi). This ensures
that the elevating mechanism remains in tension, preventing damage to the
pedestal.
