Lower stage
NOTE:
Lower stage pressure-assistance is provided by a gas strut located within the
column. The strut is available in four pressure settings and the correct one
should be installed according to the pedestal load.
The lower stage of the pedestal has an adjustment range of 395 mm (15.5 in.) and is pressure-
assisted to aid elevation whilst the pedestal is loaded. To adjust the height setting:
Lower the top stage
Support the weight of the load by holding the steering ring and then slacken the bottom
clamp
(19)
by turning the red knob counter-clockwise until the lower stage is free to move.
Use the steering ring to set the column at the required height and re-tighten the bottom
clamp.
Top stage
The top stage of the column has an on-shot stroke of 410 mm (16.1 in.) and the load can be moved
over this distance, in perfect balance, by raising and lowering the steering ring. The movement is
adjustable for drag and this is set according to operator preference by means of the drag control

located at the top of the lower stage. Turn the control clockwise to increase the drag setting,
and counter-clockwise to decease it.
