Assembly

If not already done, assemble the system as follows:

Tripod and floor spreader

(Fig 2)
To install the floor spreader:
Lift the tripod out of the case using the finger holes just below the top clamps.
Release the leg tie strap (25) and spread the legs.
Secure the spreader to the tripod feet with the rubber straps (24).
NOTE: Once assembled, keep the spreader attached to the tripod
To adjust the tripod:
Adjust the operating height by undoing the leg clamps (21) and pulling the tripod up to the desired
height. Adjust the spreader (23) if necessary.
Tighten the clamps (21) until an audible click is heard and the knob is in the horizontal, locked po-
sition.
In adverse conditions secure the tripod using the tie-down hook (27), or suspend a weight from the
hook.
WARNING! Use care when the tripod is fully extended and the floor spreader is in the
closed position, as stability will be reduced.

Tripod and mid-level spreader

(Fig 3)
To install the mid-level spreader:
Grip the ends of each spreader arm in turn between thumb and fore-finger and press in both at-
tachment release buttons (30).
Push the arm into the tripod attachment (26) ensuring the attachment pins (31) engage.
Secure the carpet feet (32) onto the tripod feet using the rubber straps (33).
NOTE: The carpet feet attach using rubber straps in the same way as the floor spreader (23).
To remove the spreader, press in the attachment release buttons (30) and free each arm in turn.
