Before you Begin
In order to ensure the safe use of the couchmount, take the following steps before use:
• Use the rotary knobs (X, Y, Z, T) to bring the couchmount into the zero position (0°)
• Remove all accessories (Phantom Pointer, etc.)
• Ensure that every adjustment (X, Y, Z, T) operates without resistance and engages smoothly
with little or no free play
Important
The following apply to all couchmount and couchmount lite models:
The maximum load of all couchmounts is 25 kg.
Every time you attach the couchmount, verify that it is securely locked by trying to remove
it (without unfastening it).
To prevent injury when attaching the couchmount to the couch or couch adapter, do not
grip the couchmount along the inner attachment interface.
