Safety
Safety issues including important warnings, risks and related topics a re covered
in Chapter 1 of this manual. It is very important that all personnel who work on
or near the Autocam equipment read this safety information. The warnings are
summarized here - refer to Chapter 1 for more details.
WARNING: ALWAYS set the column to its minimum height,
turn power off and engage the two locking pins in the base of
the column before removing the camera or payload equip-
ment from the head. Or, discharge the gas from the pedestal.
WARNING: NEVER work directly under the camera if the
column is raised. In the unlikely event that the gas pressure
supporting the column is lost, the head and payload may drop
quickly.
CAUTION: NEVER attach cables to the head or the camera
which could pull the pedestal over if it is moved with the col-
umn extended.
CAUTION: Depending on your choice of equipment, the pay-
load in your application may be over 300 lb (over 136 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 equipment.
