OPERATION
MOUNTING TOOLS TO THE TRIPOD
See Figures 10 - 12, page 6.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of a tipping hazard, always
ensure the tripod is stable before and after
mounting tools or leaving the tripod unattended. To
stabilize the tripod, reposition the arms, adjust the
leveling brace, and/or hang weights on the ballast
hooks. Do not use the tripod if it is not stable.
WARNING:
Do not mount tools that exceed the maximum
weight capacity of the tripod or cause the tripod
to tip excessively. Just because the tool can be
attached to your tripod, it does not assure safe
operation.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other part could create a hazard

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
