The Quattro SL pedestal has a mass of 150 kg (331 lb). Take care when
lifting the pedestal. Do not lift the pedestal by the steering ring - use the
lifting apertures (9).
Local, national or international regulations may apply to the transport and
storage of pressurized pedestals, specifically, not to be classed as
dangerous goods under IATA regulation UN 1956 - Compressed Gas
Shipping. Pressure must be reduced to 2bar (28psi) or less. See Service
Bulletin V4002-4990 for further information and instruction.
Ensure the pedestal pressure is increased to a minimum of 3.5 bar (50 psi)
before attempting to raise the column.
A pressure retaining valve prevents pedestal pressure being reduced
below approximately 3.5 bar (50 psi).
A pressurized pedestal will rise rapidly when the safety catches are
released. Do not lean over the pedestal when releasing the safety catches.
Always restrain the column by hand pressure on the weight tray when the
safety catches are released.
This pedestal must be transported and stored in an upright position.
