Installing the Tripod on the 1260E and 1268E
•
Unwrap the two spools that are in the bag wrapped around one of the tripod wheels. Install them in
the holes on the Lectro Truck, approximately half way up the unit.
•
Attach the tripod to the spools on the Lectro Truck using the silver latches with the hooks facing
upward. The easiest way to attach the tripod is to hold both latches open while putting the hooks
around the spools.
•
Release the latches once the hooks are on the spools. This will lock the top of the tripod to the unit.
•
To attach the tripod to the hook bar, open the two latches mounted at the base of the tripod, fold
down the hook bar and hook it into the two hooks. Then close the latches around the bar to lock it in
place.
•
Your tripod is now mounted to the Lectro Truck and ready to use.
Caution: It is very important that when you put the tripod onto the Lectro-Truck that you
make sure the opening of the hooks on the tripod are facing up. If the tripod is put on
the Lectro Truck facing the wrong direction the load will collapse.
The tripod attachment is not available for the models LTA5512 and LTA4512. The
NOTE
All-Terrain Wheel Attachment is able to be used as a tripod feature for these models.
LTA6512 TRIPOD:
The tripod on the LTA6512 is built into the unit. To set the load back onto the tripod, run the wheels up 6
inches and break load back onto the 8" wheels. With the load resting back in a balanced position, press
the tripod latch with your foot. The tripod will fold out, and lock into place.
NOTE
In order for the tripod to fold out and lock properly, the unit must be tipped back.
Press the wheels up/load down switch and run the load closer to the ground before setting the load back
on the tripod wheels. Use the instructions below to set the load back up. Once the load is upright, and
sitting in a safe position press the tripod latch with your hand and fold it back into the unit. The tripod has
a positive locking system and will automatically lock open or closed. In order for the tripod to fold all the
way in for climbing steps, the wheels need to be turned and inserted between the motor box and the
outer frame.
How to use the Tripod when there is a load on the Lectro Truck:
•
Run your wheels up 6 inches and break your load back so it is resting at a slight balanced angle.
•
Press the foot release lever on the tripod to snap it out into the open position.
•
Continue to run your wheels up slowly and your tripod wheels will move closer to the floor or ground.
•
When your wheels are within a few inches from the ground set the load back onto the tripod.
It is very important to use the proper method to set the load onto the tripod. It will keep you from
damaging your tripod and tripod wheels.
