Vinten Osprey Light Pedestal Mode D'emploi page 24

NOTE: It is not necessary to reduce the pedestal pressure prior to transportation or storage.
However, it is recommended to set the control valve (26) to PUMP, to isolate the moving
column (5) from the internal pressure.
Set the column to minimum height to avoid the possibility of dust or abrasive particles
collecting on moving components.
WARNING!
The pedestal may be dismantled for transportation and storage. Proceed as follows:
Apply the brakes (15).
Fully depress the moving column (5) and engage the safety catch (24).
Set the control valve (26) to PUMP (refer to 'Setting the control valve' on page 15 for more infor-
mation).
WARNING!
Remove the payload.
Secure all trim weights (28) in the trim weight stowage (22) using the stowage catch (23).
Release the skid clamp (16).
Release the three rubber foot straps (8) from the struts.
Raise the struts (7), then lift the complete column vertically off the skid.
Secure the struts with the Velcro strap (19).
WARNING!
Remove the kick ring (13) from the skid by releasing the sliding catches (13.1).
Depress the locking plungers (11.1) and fold the skid legs (11), ensuring that the plungers lock in
the fully closed position.
ALWAYS collapse the moving column (5) and engage the safety catch
(24) if wheeling the pedestal across uneven/inclined surfaces between
shots with the full payload fitted, to prevent loss of stability.
Ensure that the payload is removed before dismantling the pedestal.
The column will be unstable if stood on its base.
