Raising and Lowering the Pan Head
To raise or lower the pan head, first loosen the elevator lock
knob. Then use the hinged hand crank to move the aluminum
rack-and-pinion elevator shaft up or down. Retighten the eleva-
tor lock knob to secure the instrument at the new height.
The elevator friction will need to be adjusted depending
on the weight of the instrument on the tripod. To adjust the
elevator friction, rotate the elevator shaft housing with your
hands. Rotating it clockwise will increase friction, and makes
the elevator hand crank harder to turn. Rotating the elevator
shaft housing counterclockwise reduces friction. The elevator
friction should be adjusted so that the pan head maintains its
position and the hand crank is easy to turn.
General Care and Cleaning
When using the tripod in direct sunlight, be aware that its black
anodized surface can become hot. If the tripod is used in wet
conditions, dry it completely with a soft cloth after use. Clean
the tripod with mild detergent and a soft cloth.
