CAUTION! Erecting the tripod can be a hazard due to tipping.
To erect the tripod, two persons are recommended. Use of proper head protection is also
suggested, as the operating height of the tripod will, in most cases, be above the head of
the operators exposing them to the hazard of being struck by either the head form or the
tripod. While erecting the tripod hold or otherwise restrain the steel lifting block to
prevent it from swinging into and hurting any nearby persons.
5.1 Tripod Legs
The leg sections are connected by interlocking connectors as shown in photo 5. Before
connecting the tripod leg sections ensure that the connector mating surfaces are free from
sand or other debris. The connectors are precision fitted and any foreign object on the
connectors could prevent them from properly connecting. To start the coupling, align an
"A" leg section (with spring button) and a "B" leg section (without spring button.) Press
the spring button down to allow the "A" section to begin to slide into the "B" section. As
the button enters the "B" section release finger pressure on the button and slide the "B"
section fully into the "A" section. After the sections are fully connected rotate either
section until the spring button pops into the hole in the "B" section, locking the legs
together.

WARNING: Make sure that the spring button pin fully extends after the leg
sections are coupled as shown in photo 5A. Failure to do so could allow the leg
section to unexpectedly disengage, causing the tripod to fall and possible strike and
injure anyone nearby.
