OPERATING ENVIRONMENT ,
Transportation and handling of the stand must be carried out by at least two operators in
compliance with the regulations relating to the handling of loads.
To move the stand using a winch or other lifting gear, lift or lower the stand with a webbing sling
(not included) around the upper spider as shown in (g 1).
While lifting or lowering, verify that the stand is well balanced and that the legs are retracted.
Never load webbing slings beyond their maximum carrying capacity and check that it is correctly
xed to the stand and to the lifting gear.
1.2 The stand must only be used on horizontally level surfaces.
1.3 The stand must be set up on rm ground capable of taking both the weight of the stand and its
load without any of the wheels sinking in, which could cause the stand to tip over. If the ground is soft,
place a board “B” (g.2) under the wheels.
SETTING THE STAND UP , ,
2.1 After checking that the stand is set up on rm ground, release the wheel locks if wheels are tted
“F” (g. 4). Unlock knob “E” (g. 4) and push the bottom central column casting down so that the stand
legs are fully open and then tighten knob “E” (g. 4) to keep in place.
The stand wheels must be locked before loading it “F” (g. 4).
Ensure that the column is level using the levelling bubble.
It is essential that the stand be levelled BEFORE loading it with equipment.
When setting up the stand, use caution to avoid pinching/crushing hazards due to the movement
of legs or of other parts.
2.2 On stands operating at heights in excess of 2.2 m (86.6”) or in windy conditions, a wind bracing kit
should be used “D” (g. 3) and should always be used when the horizontal wind load on the lighting
body exceeds the value of 3.5 Kg (35 N). The anchoring of the braces cables to the ground is the
responsibility of the user, who will have to evaluate the best solution to x the braces by means of ground
spikes or anchors (not supplied with the product) according to the conformation of the ground itself.
LOADING THE STAND , ,
3.1 Ensure the stand wheels are correctly locked as per 2.1.
3.2 All riser columns on the stand should be lowered and knobs “G” (g. 4) tightened.
3.3 Check to ensure the xture locking knob “H” (g. 5) is unscrewed enough to allow a 28 mm (1
1/8”) pin to t into the top of the stand.
3.4 Once the load has been mounted on the stand, lock it securely by tightening knob “H” (g. 5).
3.5 All loads should be balanced especially when using “T” bars etc. (g. 6).
3.6 In windy conditions, we recommend not loading the stand with products that have wide surfaces
8
such as buttery frames & fabrics.
RAISING THE COLUMNS OF THE STAND , ,
4.1 Prior to raising the loaded stand, ensure it is properly positioned and the load balanced and
locked o (as per 3.2).
Ensure the stand will not be obstructed when is raised to the desired height.
Always raise the top column rst, working your way down the columns to achieve the required height.
Check that the luminaires are not switched on while raising or lowering the stand and that the
electric cables are not in contact with the column in order to avoid accidental damage.
Make sure you have correctly tightened knob “H” to prevent it from coming loose and falling
accidentally.
4.3 Fit the ratchet handle “J” (g. 8) into the crankcase and unlock the knob “G” (g. 8) of the column
that is to be raised. The button “I” (g. 9) on the ratchet handle must be in the up position. Rotate the
ratchet handle in a clockwise direction until the required height is reached.
4.4 Making sure that each column riser is secured, to prevent rotational movement when it is at the
required height, by tightening knob “G” (g. 8).
Verify that the safety braces (g. 7) are secured especially at heights in excess of 2,2 m or in windy
conditions or if the stand is placed on scaolding etc.
DO NOT MOVE THE STAND WHEN THE LOAD HAS BEEN RAISED.
Do not use the legs or other part of the stand as a support to stand on.
4.5 Note: if there are diculties in raising the columns check the following:
- Has the locking knob “G” (g. 8) been loosened.
- Is the load in excess of that specied for the stand.
- Have any columns been damaged in transit.
- Is there an obstruction (ceiling, balustrade etc.).
LOWERING THE COLUMNS OF THE STAND , ,
5.1 Ensure there are no obstructions before lowering the stand (g. 10).
Lower the columns starting with the lowest and working up (opposite to raising).
Check that the luminaires are not switched on while raising or lowering the stand and that the
electric cables are not in contact with the column in order to avoid accidental damage.
5.2 Loosen knob “G” (g. 11) on the column to be lowered rst and t the ratchet handle “J” (g. 11)
into the crankcase.
Raise the column 2 cm to allow the disengagement of the secondary safety lock by pressing down
lever “L” (g. 11).
5.3 Whilst pressing the lever “L” (g. 11) down, adjust the ratchet handle button to the down position
and rotate the handle in an anticlockwise direction.
5.4 If the safety lever “L” (g. 11) is released (the column automatically locks in place) before the stand
GB GB
has been lowered to the required height, repeat actions 5.2 and 5.3.
5.5 When the columns have been retracted, tighten all the column-locking knobs “G” (g. 11).
5.6 Note: if there are diculties in lowering the columns check the following:
- Has the locking knob “G” (g. 11) been loosened.
- Have any columns or crankcases been damaged in transit.
- Is there an obstruction (ceiling, balustrade etc.).
MOVING A COMMON LOAD WITH TWO STANDS
6.1 Prior to raising the loaded stand, ensure it is properly positioned as described in chapters SETTING
THE STAND UP and LOADING THE STAND.
6.2 The bar for moving the common load must be horizontal.
The choice of the bar and its technical performances are sole responsibility of the nal user.
Vitec Imaging Solutions cannot be held liable for any damage that may derive from people,
things or animals, as a consequence of wrong choice of the bar.
6.3 The load must be:
- Properly balanced and equally shared between the two stands;
- Locked o with the knob “H” (g. 5).
- Doesn’t overload the maximum payload of the stand.
6.4 The raising of two stands must be made by two operators following the instructions of chapter
“RAISING THE COLUMNS OF THE STAND”.
6.5 Ensure that the speed of raising the columns is the same for both of the stands in order for the
bar to remain horizontal.
6.6 Ensure there are no obstructions before lowering the stand.
6.7 The lowering of two stands must be made by two operators following the instructions of chapter
“LOWERING THE COLUMNS OF THE STAND”.
6.8 Ensure that the speed of lowering the columns is the same for both of the stands in order for the
bar to remain horizontal.
STORAGE
7.1 All columns should be retracted and locked. Lock also the knob “E” (g. 13).
7.2 Loosen knob “E” (g. 13) and using the handle on the centre column casting pull it up the centre
column until the legs are folded in.
The stand is constructed so that it can be rolled along in the closed position (when wheels are tted).
Transportation and handling of the stand must be carried out by at least two operators in
compliance with the safety regulations.
It is safest to open the stand base a little to reduce the risk of it to tipping over.

GB GB
Check that there are no obstacles in the transport that can block or make the stand tip over.
Use the handle E1 to move the stand.
7.3 After long periods of storage we recommend a thorough cleaning of the stand, see instruction
“Maintenance”.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE TIPS
Regularly remove dirt and debris from the locking screws and sliding parts.
Do not use metallic or sharp tools during cleaning operations.
Regularly check the state of the stand and of the crankcases by moving the columns without load.
8.1 OPERATING IN A SANDY LOCATION (BEACHES, DESERT, ETC.)
Remove lubricating grease from joints, threads and bearings to prevent sand mixing with the grease
adversely aecting the operation of the stand (g. 15).
8.2 MUDDY AND SALTY LOCATION
Before the stand is used in a muddy or salty environment, all joints, threads, moving parts of the
stand should be greased. After working in this environment, the stand must be thoroughly cleaned.
8.3 OPERATING IN COLD AND DAMP LOCATIONS ,
Make sure all joints threads and bearings are greased. If the stand is to be operated for a long period
at below freezing temperatures, take care to ensure the safety lever “L” (g. 15) is fully operative (as
per 5.2 and 5.3). To check this, crank the stand up a few centimetres and press down the safety lever;
repeat this action a few times to ensure it functions correctly.
If the columns or the mechanism are iced up, try to de-ice but do not expose to direct ame or use a
de-icing uid (joints and bearings could be aected by this).
8.4 WHEELS ,,,
While using the stand, especially of the stand, especially outdoors, the base is the most exposed part
to be potentially damaged so particular attention must be paid to periodic and scheduled maintenance.
8.41 Hard rubber wheels (g. 17) are supplied as standard and are recommended for studio environment.
They are tted with a brake “F” which locks both the travel and swivel movements. A periodic check
of wheel bearings and swivel joints must be undertaken. Wheel xing hole “O “.
8.42 To replace or t wheels simply loosen clamping screw “M” (g. 19) suciently to allow the wheel
to t or come out freely. Do not over tighten when wheel is in place. Replace or t wheels with column
down and without load.
8.43 This wheel carrier allows rolling the stand even when the stand legs are closed.
A hole for the fastening of the wheels “O” (g. 17) and another one for the use of a levelling jack “N”
(g. 18) are provided. The carrier should be cleaned and re-greased after being used in sandy or
muddy locations.
Gears must be greased and cleaned carefully whenever the stand is used in sandy or muddy areas.
8.5 - REMOVING A COLUMN FROM THE STAND ,,,
The columns of the stand are designed to withstand the normal rigours of location work.
In the event of damage, columns can easily be replaced.
It is also simple to modify the maximum and minimum height of the stand by adding or removing columns.
8.51 Removing a column riser.
Make sure that the stand is not loaded, that the columns are completely retracted and the wheels
locked (g. 21).
- Loosen screw “S” (g. 23) on the collar of the column.
- Pull the column “T1” (g. 21) and its collar out and whilst doing this make sure the three Teon guides
“U” (g. 21) are not left inside the column “T2” (g. 21).
- Place wire attachment plate “Z” (g. 24) mounting the top bushing “V” and secure it with the three
screws “W”.
8.52 Adding a column riser.
Make sure that the stand is not loaded, that the columns are all completely retracted and the wheels locked.
- Remove the screws “W” (g. 22) holding the eyelets “Z” and take the spotlight socket “V” out from
the top riser.
- Remove the tape on the Teon guides at the base of the column extension.
- Insert the column collar over the stand top column and then insert the extension column into the
collar making sure the Teon guides “U” (g. 21) do not fall out.
- Make sure the collar is resting fully on the lower column, use a plastic tip hammer if necessary but
make sure the Teon ring “α” (g. 23) on the inside of the collar is not displaced.
- Tighten screw “S” (g. 23). Mount the crank case on the collar (as explained in “Fitting the crank case”).
8.53 Troubleshooting
- Check the extension column functions without a load. If the column does not function properly,
check the following.
- The Teon guides “U” on the column have not been inserted correctly causing the column to jam.
- The Teon ring “α” on the inside of the collar has been displaced preventing the column being cranked.
- If the column moves in an irregular fashion when cranked down (without a luminaire), the collar
needs to be realigned and/or readjusted.
8.6 CRANKCASE
The design of the crank case is to provide maximum safety and functionality. The crank case should
require no maintenance but in the event of malfunction, it should be removed and returned to the
nearest dealer. If the malfunction is caused by damage to the outer case this will invalidate the warranty.
8.7 REMOVING THE CRANK CASE , ,
Before removing a crankcase make sure all columns are fully retracted (g. 24) and that the wheels
are locked.In addition, the stand must not be loaded.
Loosen (do not remove) the three screws “Y” (g. 25) on the side of the case and remove the crankcase
from its support (g. 26).
8.8 FITTING THE CRANK CASE , , , ,
Make sure all columns are retracted and the stand is not loaded.
- Loosen the three screws “Y” (g. 25) on the side of the crankcase. Place the case on the “dovetail”
support (g. 28), widening it a little as shown in (g. 27) and swing it in “from X1 to X2” (g. 28).
Whilst doing so ensure the gear teeth “X3” (g. 28) t into the holes in the column (g. 29).
- When the crankcase is correctly seated the three screws “Y” (g. 30) must be tightened.
Check that the crankcase functions correctly without a load.
