- Page 7 Attach Cross Bars to Legs Stand top collar and leg assembly up – spread each leg, out from the center, about one foot apart. Locate hole in (#5) upper leg 25.125 inches from the bottom of leg (it’s the only hole toward the middle of the leg, but the orientation of this hole is crucial to the operation of the tripod.) Be sure that the middle hole is closer to the bottom of the leg than the top.
- Page 8 Attach Bottom Clamping Collar to Cross Bars Make sure top and bottom collar clamps are aligned. Attach support bar to bottom collar tab using (D) 1/4 x 3/4 short screw as follows: Note: Facing the assembly, the screw head should be on the left side this time.
- Page 9 The assembly is now complete! USEAGE TIPS: You can install the mast in the tripod with the tripod in either the vertical or horizontal orientation. Loosen the top and bottom clamping collars and slide the mast through. For additional stability, the feet of the tripod have a hole in them. This is so you can use a large diameter spike to hammer into the ground, use an auger type twist anchor, or even concrete anchors.
- Page 10 We have seven mast kits available that will work with our Tripod Mast Mount. Ranging from as short as 12.1 feet when fully extended, that could fit in a luggage bag, up through the 50 foot tall MK-8-HD mast. These Tripods will accept any mast with a 2.5 inch OD Round base tube.
- Page 11 Our specially made guy rings are tough, non-conductive, and UV-proof. Our guy rings are made in seven sizes to fit perfectly on our different tubes (3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1.25 inch, 1.5 inch, 1.75 inch, 2 inch, and 2.25 inch). Having these seven sizes should offer adequate choice of guying position for almost any use.
