Using the Quattro-SE pedestal
Height adjustment
The column (16) has an on-shot stroke of 97.3 cm (38.3 in.) and the load can be moved over this distance, in
perfect balance, by raising and lowering the steering ring (3). The movement is adjustable for drag (4) and an
on-shot clamp (20) can be used to hold the moving column in position if fixed height operation is required. A
markable height indication scale (17) is provided on the second stage of the column. Operators can use this
scale to record working heights to be returned to whilst shooting.
Drag control
Column movement is adjustable for drag and this is set according to operator preference by means of the drag
control (4) located at the base of the moving column. Turn the control clockwise to increase the drag setting,
and counter- clockwise to decease it.
On-shot clamp
An on-shot clamp (20), located below the steering ring, is used to hold the column in position if fixed height
operation is required. Rotate the ring fully clockwise to apply the clamp. Rotate the ring fully counter-clockwise
to release the clamp.
WARNING! 1. Take care not to trap fingers under the steering hub, in cable manage-
ment components or between column elements while the pedestal height is
being reduced.
2. Reduce pedestal height to a minimum when moving between studios
over uneven or sloped surfaces, to ensure maximum stability.
3. Do NOT leave the pedestal unattended on a sloping surface, or it may roll
away.
CAUTION! Do NOT use the on-shot clamp (20) to raise and lower the moving column (16). Use the
the steering ring (3) to avoid damaging the pedestal.
