Disconnect the hose (P.4) from the pedestal charging valve, but do not refit the Schrader valve cap
at this stage. Fit the hose in its stowage (P.2).
Push the pump plunger fully down, depress the handle release button (P.5) and move the handle
(P.1) to the vertical position, where it will lock the pump plunger in the closed position.
Fold up both the feet (P.3).
Pressurizing from an external pressure source
A pressure reducing valve must be fitted between the gas cylinder and the outlet connection of the hose.
The maximum pressure on the outlet side of the reducing valve must not exceed 9.6 bar (139 psi).
WARNING!
To pressurize the pedestal from an external pressure source, proceed as follows:
Fully collapse the moving column (5) and apply the safety catch (24).
Set the control valve (26) to the WORK position (refer to 'Setting the control valve' on page 15 for
more detail).
Rotate the steering ring (3) so that the pressure gauge is visible through the window (2).
Remove the Schrader valve cap (1) and connect the charging line from the pressure source.
Turn on the pressure supply and slowly increase the pedestal pressure to the required pressure.
Do not exceed the maximum working pressure, indicated by the leading edge of the red sector on
the gauge (2).
NOTE: Do not exceed 3.5 bar (50 psi) if the pan and tilt head has yet to be fitted. For further
information refer to 'Fitting and balancing the
Disconnect the charging line, but do not refit the Schrader valve cap at this stage.

Vinten camera mounts including pan and tilt heads, Quickfix and Mitchell adapters.
Fitting the camera mount
To fit the camera mount, proceed as follows:
Ensure that the control valve (26) is set to the WORK position (refer to 'Setting the control valve'
