Mast Operation - Prime Design Baselight 420X User Manual

MAST OPERATION

CATION! Baselight contains a self locking telescopic mast. To avoid personal
injury or damage to Baselight these procedures must be followed!
Before extending the mast the armature must be ejected from the casing and the preferred light
configuration selected (360 or 180, for example). Ejection of armature is done by pressing the red
lever placed under armature on the chassi wall.
TO EXTEND THE MAST
1. Make sure that the support legs have been extended and locked
and that the chassi is raised from ground and in a level position. See
chapter "Leg operation".
2. When raising a mast section place one hand on the telescopic
pole and the other hand on the lock bellow to hold it in place while
lifting the section above. Start with the top section and repeat for
each section below.
3. Raise each section up until the lock engages with a click sound.
Make sure it is locked by moving the section up and down before
releasing grip. Failure to do so could cause the section to fall down
and damage the lock bellow.
Now it is time to chose a configuration of light. See chapter "Light
configuration"
TO LOWER THE MAST
1. Always start by lowering the bottom section first and then the
one above (and so on).
2. Place one hand around the lock and use the index finger to pull
on the red grip while the other hand grips around the mast section
and lift it upwards a centimetre. This will disengage the safety
mechanism and make downwards movement of the section possi-
ble.
3. Keep the grip around the mast section (right hand in picture)
and let it slide downwards slowly. Apply breaking if necessary. The
section should never be allowed to drop onto the next section
which could damage to the locking mechanism.
4. Before the last section is lowered the operator must configure
the armature for stoving before pushing armature back into chassi.
