Safety
ALWAYS set the tilt axis horizontal and insert the tilt locking
pin before removing any part of the payload equipment.
Know the location of the power switch on the head.
Before removing the camera or other payload equipment
from the head, ALWAYS set the column of the pedestal to its
minimum height (refer to the user manual for your pedestal).
ALWAYS engage the locking pins or latches to prevent the
column from rising (refer to the user manual for your pedestal). Turn the
power OFF at the head AND at the pedestal if it is a robotic model.
NEVER work directly under the camera if the pedestal col-
umn is raised. In the unlikely event that the gas pressure sup-
porting the column is lost, the head and payload may drop
quickly.
Depending on your choice of equipment, the payload in your
application may be up to 200 lb. (90 kg). Therefore, to avoid
personal injury, or injury to others, we recommend that each
element of the payload (teleprompter, lens, camera etc.) be
removed separately. ALWAYS follow the handling instructions supplied by
the manufacturers of the payload equipment. Make sure that you have
enough people involved to safely handle the weight of your payload equip-
ment. (Note: Any time you change the weight or position of the payload, the
head must be rebalanced as described in Chapter 3.)
