3.1. SETTING UP THE STAND
• Determine a suitable location and position the stand.
• Release the tommy screw 1and extend the legs completely by pushing down on the leg struts 2. Afterwards,
retighten the tommy screw 1.
The legs must always be extended completely. Operation with incompletely extended legs is prohibited.
• Verify that the stand is positioned vertically and correct if necessary. To do this, when screw 3is released, one
leg can be lengthened in order to position the stand vertically. Verify the vertical orientation of the stand using a
spirit level.
• Unfold the crank 4after releasing the knurled nut 5. Afterwards, retighten the knurled nut.
• Now the load can be fastened. This can done using one of the three different mounts in the head of the stand (
9and 10 ). The load must be mounted with the stand fully retracted.
• Once the tommy screws 6have been released, the crank can be used to extended the stand to the desired
height. When extending the stand, make certain that the safety catch 7 (Fig. 3) is in Position 1.
• Once the desired height is reached, retighten both tommy screws 6.
Operation without the tommy screws 6tightened is prohibited. If necessary, use a ladder to tighten the tommy
screws. Alternatively, the optionally available step (Product Number SWU375FR) can mounted and used to reach
the tommy screws.
• When used outdoors, the stand must be additionally stabilized with suitable guy lines. At the stand end, these
are fastened to anchor point 8using a screw gate. The ropes must be attached to the ground with stakes. The
steel cables must be staked out at an angle of 120° relative to one another and at an angle of 30° relative to the
stand.
If the crank turns only with difficult, check the following points:
• Have the tommy screws 6been loosened sufficiently?
• Is the load too heavy (max. 30 kg)?
• Does the stand show signs of obvious damage?
3.2. TAKING DOWN THE STAND
• Release the tommy screws 6.
• Move the safety catch 7 to Position 2. In order to do this, it may be necessary to lift the load slightly using the
crank 4.
CAUTION: When releasing the safety catch 7, always hold the crank 4in position with the other hand in order to
avoid unintended lowering of the load!
• Use the crank 4to slowly lower the load completely.
• Remove the load.
• Retighten the tommy screws 6and return the safety catch 7 to Position 1.
• Fold up the crank by releasing the knurled nut; afterwards, retighten the knurled nut.
• Release the tommy screw 1and fold in the legs completely by pushing up on the leg struts 2. In order to do
this, the adjustable-length leg must be pushed in all the way. Afterwards, retighten the tommy screw 1.
When transporting the stand, make certain that tommy screws 1, 3and 6are tightened, the crank 4is folded
in, and the safety catch 7 is in Position 1.
Note: During transport, the stand must not be carried by the folded in crank 4, as this could cause the crank to
become damaged.
