Inspection And Maintenance
Clean the stand to aid inspection and improve control.
Inspect the stand before each use for proper assembly, wear,
damage, modification or other issues that could affect safe

required parts, such as the hand screw. If any problems are
found, do not use until corrected.
Lubricate all moving parts/joints as needed with light lubricat-
ing oil. Wipe up excess oil.

instructions.
2. Locate a clear, level, stable location for the stand, other
