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, proceed as follows:
1. Apply the parking brake by rotating the slider [18] anti-clockwise.
2. Set the column lock [6] to the ON position (see Using the column lock on page 26)
and lower the moving column under hand restraint until the column lock engages.
3. Using the Schrader valve cap [3], reduce pedestal pressure to 7.2 bar (105 psi).
4. Remove the camera and ancillary equipment.
5. Depress and rotate the height mode knob [20] anti-clockwise to select manual
operation.
6. Depress and rotate the cable release button [37] clockwise to disengage the robotic
height drive. It is only possible to depress and rotate the cable release button when
the column is fully depressed.
7. Push down on the steering ring [19] against residual pressure and release the
column lock [6] allowing the column to extend under hand restraint (see Using the
column lock on page 26).
8. Undo the four mounting bolts and remove the pan and tilt head.
9. To avoid dust or abrasive particles collecting on moving components, set the column
to minimum height and re-engage the column lock.
10. Fit the Velcro strap to secure the column lock in place.
11. Place any trim weights in the trim weight stowage [14].
12. Select manual pedestal movement/steering by rotating the steering mode knob [17]
clockwise to the MAN position and rotating the steering ring [19] to re-engage the
pedestal wheels.
WARNING!
1. Heavy – DO NOT lift unaided. This product weighs up to 130 kg
(286.6 lb).
2. 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.
