Transportation and storage
Local, national or international regulations may apply to the transport and storage of pressurised
pedestals.
To prepare the pedestal or height drive for transportation and storage (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2)
proceed as follows:
1. Apply the parking brake by rotating the slider [18] counter-clockwise.
2. Set the column lock [5] to the ON position (see Using the column lock on page 21)
and lower the moving column under hand restraint until the column lock engages.
3. Using the Schrader valve cap [3], reduce pedestal pressure to 4 bar (60 psi).
4. Remove the camera and ancillary equipment.
5. Push down on the steering ring [21] against residual pressure and release the
column lock [5] allowing the column to extend under hand restraint (see Using the
column lock on page 21).
6. Undo the four mounting bolts and remove the pan and tilt head.
7. To avoid dust or abrasive particles collecting on moving components, set the column
to minimum height and re-engage the column lock.
8. Fit the Velcro strap to secure the column lock in place.
9. Select manual pedestal movement/steering by rotating the steering mode knob [10]
clockwise to the MAN position and rotating the steering ring [21] to re-engage the
pedestal wheels.
WARNING! 130kg/286.6 lb LIFTING AID REQUIRED. Use a lifting hoist capable
of safely lifting the product.
WARNING! DO NOT lift the pedestal by the steering ring—use the lifting
handles only.
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.
NOTE: Reduce pedestal pressure to the minimum operating pressure (3.5 bar/
50 psi) prior to transport or storage.
