CAUTION! Erecting the tripod can be a hazard due to tipping.
To erect the tripod, two persons are recommended. Use of proper head protection is also suggested,
as the operating height of the tripod will, in most cases, be above the head of the operators exposing
them to the hazard of being struck by either the head form or the tripod. While erecting the tripod
hold or otherwise restrain the steel lifting block to prevent it from swinging into and hurting any
nearby persons.
5.1 Tripod Legs
The leg sections are connected by interlocking connectors as shown in the photo below. Before
connecting the tripod leg sections ensure that the connector mating surfaces are free from sand or
other debris. The connectors are precision fitted and any foreign object on the connectors could
prevent them from properly connecting. To start the coupling, align an "A" leg section (with spring
button) and a "B" leg section (without spring button.) Press the spring button down to allow the
"A" section to begin to slide into the "B" section. As the button enters the "B" section release
finger pressure on the button and slide the "B" section fully into the "A" section. After the sections
are fully connected rotate either section until the spring button pops into the hole in the "B" section,
locking the legs together.
Tripod Leg Connector
WARNING: Make sure that the spring button pin fully extends after the leg sections are
coupled as shown in photo 5A. Failure to do so could allow the leg section to unexpectedly
disengage, causing the tripod to fall and possible strike and injure anyone nearby.
