Vinten Radamec Quattro SE Pedestal - Manual (Page 21)

19
To pressurize the pedestal using the Vinten portable pump, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the Schrader valve cap (5).
2. On the pump (Fig 3), fold down both the feet (P.3).
3. Push in the handle release button (P.5) and move the handle (P.1) to the horizontal position, where it
will lock.
4. Pull the hose (P.4) out of its stowage (P.2). Connect the hose to the pedestal charging valve (5).
5. On the pedestal, push down on the weight tray (1) against residual pressure. At the safety catches
(2), push the rocker switches to the unlocked position.
6. Position the pump between the legs, standing with both feet on the fold-down feet (P.3).
7. Grip the handle (P.1) with both hands and, using full steady strokes, pressurize the pedestal to the
required pressure. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure, indicated by the leading edge of the
red sector on the gauge (6). Approximately 600 strokes will be required to fully charge the pedestal.
8. Disconnect the hose (P.4) from the pedestal charging valve, but do not refit the Schrader valve cap at
this stage. Fit the hose in its stowage (P.2).
9. Push the pump plunger fully down, push in the handle release button (P.5) and move the handle (P.1)
to the vertical position, where it will lock the pump plunger in the closed position.
10. Fold up both the feet (P.3).
Balancing the load
After pressurization of the pedestal, the pan and tilt head and payload can be accurately balanced, as follows:
1. Exercise the moving column (16) over its full travel at least twice, then position the column in the mid-
height position.
