5. Preparing the rescue tripod for use:
Set up the rescue tripod vertically and
release the clamp nut Item 1 by turning it
anti-clockwise. It must be possible to move the
washer Item 2 freely upwards. (Fig. 5)
N.B.: The rescue tripod (Fig. 5) does not have
a
stable footing when standing on its castors.
Fold the legs out sideways, starting with the
leg to which the steering handle is attached.
Open the Velcro straps and fold out the cross
struts Item 7 into a horizontal position, pull
out the locking bolt Item 14, Fig. 6) on the
mushroom-type knob and insert the cross
strut. Release the mushroom-type knob. The
locking bolt locks into place. Check that the
cross strut is locked correctly. Repeat this
procedure for the other two cross struts Turn
the head of the clamp nut counter-clockwise to
screw it firmly against the washer (Fig. 7). This
secures the legs in place.
To position the individually extendible telesco-
pic legs at the corresponding height, first press
the socket pin down with your thumb Item 12
(Fig. 10) to release it and pull it out.
Extend the telescopic legs to the desired
length and then secure them again using the
socket pin (Item 12). The legs can be exten-
ded to different lengths to compensate for an
uneven ground surface. Repeat this procedure
for the two other telescopic legs. When fully
extended, the telescopic legs automatically
lock into the limit stop via a captivating pin.
To retract the legs, push the captivating pin
back in.
Then align and set up the rescue tripod.
For additional safety, always pull the brace
supplied Item 13 (Fig. 9) through the lower
eyelets Item 10 and pull it tight.
N.B.: If the folding steering handle Item 8 (Fig.
9) is folded out, the castor brake is applied
automatically. This is also the case when the
steering handle is folded in. To disassemble
the DB-AR castor tripod, perform the above
steps in the reverse order.
