Extending the Tripod
•
Loosen the adjustment knob on each of the 3 telescoping legs by gripping
with one hand the knurled area immediately below each knob and with the
other hand rotating the knob counterclockwise about ¾ turn.
•
After all three adjustment knobs have been loosened, grip the Tripod with
both hands by two legs above the turn knobs and lift until the legs fully
deploy.
•
When lifting, if a leg does not extend easily, check that the Turn Knob has
been loosened and then pull on the leg until it fully deploys.
•
Lift the Tripod completely off the ground to be certain all three legs are
completely and evenly extended to their maximum height.
•
Return the Tripod gently to the ground. Hold each leg firmly by its knurl and
fully tighten each of the three leg Turn Knobs.
•
Before tightening, be sure that the Base Plate at the bottom of each leg is flat
on the ground and properly aligned.
•
Important: The three legs must be fully extended and locked in place before
continuing to the next step.
