Column
Install the column on the skid as follows:
1.
Ensure that the rubber straps on each foot support (6) are to the
outside of the ball joint.

Fully slacken the skid clamp (1).
3.
Ensure the control valve (2) is set to the WORK position.

holding the three struts. Raise the struts (4) to about 30° from the
horizontal. The strut joints are adjusted to retain the struts in this
position
6.
Lift the column assembly by the steering ring and lower it vertically
into the skid centre casting, ensuring skid clamp (1) is aligned with

), at the same time engaging the struts (4) on the foot supports (6).
7.
Secure each strut to the foot support with the rubber strap.
8.

clamp lever has a spring loaded ratchet-type action and is operated
as follows:

Pull the lever outward against the spring pressure, return it to
vertical and release.
11.
