Pressurizing the pedestal using a portable
pump
WARNING! Do not pressurize the pedestal beyond the
!
maximum safe working pressure indicated by the leading
edge of the red sector on the gauge. The pedestal is
fitted with a pressure relief valve as a safeguard against
over-pressurization. Do not attempt to adjust the
pressure relief valve.
To pressurize the pedestal using the Vinten portable *pump, proceed
as follows:
1.
Fully depress the moving column (1) and engage the safety catch
(2).
2.
Attach the intended payload, see Fitting and balancing the
payload on page 15
3.
Connect the pump adaptor (6) to the pedestal charging valve (4).
by screwing clockwise until finger tight.
4.
Connect pump hose (3) to the adaptor (6) and flip the lever
upwards to secure the pump to the adaptor.
5.
Position the pump between the legs, standing with both feet on the
pump feet.
6.
Grip the pump handle with both hands and using full steady
strokes, pressurize the pedestal to the required pressure. Do not
exceed the maximum working pressure, indicated by the leading
edge of the red sector on the gauge (5).
7.
Disconnect the hose (3) and adaptor (6) from the pedestal charging
valve, but do not refit the Schrader valve cap at this stage.
8.
Push the pump plunger fully down, and store.
*Pump model
may differ.
Note! In the event that the pedestal air pressure has
dropped to 0 psi, proceed as follows:
Follow steps 3 to 4. The pump features a shock
function (Lever in Position A), this allows the pump to
store pressure with every stroke up to approximately
A
75psi. When this pressure is achieved turn the lever to
position B. This will force air in allowing the O-ring in
B
the pedestal to seal. Resume from step 5.
