To prepare the pedestal for transportation and storage, proceed as follows:
Fully depress the moving column (16). Push down on the weight tray (1) and push the safety catch rocker
switches (2) to the locked position
Using the Schrader valve cap (5), reduce pedestal pressure to 3.5 bar (50 psi).
Remove camera, prompter and any other ancillaries.
Push down on the weight tray (2). At the safety catches (3), push the rocker switches to the unlocked
position. Allow the column to extend under hand restraint.
Apply the on-shot clamp (6).

WARNING! 1. Do NOT lift the pedestal by the steering ring, it may fail. Use the lifting
apertures (13).
2. Do NOT lift unassisted. The Quattro-SE pedestal has a mass of 144 kg
(317 lb). Take care when lifting the pedestal.
2. Local, national or international regulations may apply to the transport
and storage of pressurized pedestals.
3. Do NOT leave the pedestal unattended on a sloping surface, to prevent it
rolling away.
Note: It is not necessary to reduce the pedestal pressure prior to transportation or storage.
WARNING! A pressure retaining valve prevents pedestal pressure being reduced
below approximately 3.5 bar (50 psi), to prevent damage to the pedestal.
WARNING! 1. Do NOT lean over the pedestal when releasing the safety catches.
An over pressurized pedestal may rise rapidly when the safety catches are
released, causing personal injury.
2. Always restrain the column by hand pressure on the weight tray when
