OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Expanding/Collapsing the Tripod Legs
WARNING
• To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected
movement, check to make sure that the tripod
does not rock, slide, or move prior to use.
• To reduce the risk of injury and damage,
do not use the tripod on uneven or inclined
surfaces. If you must use the tripod on an inclined
surface, secure it in place as instructed in the
chapter "To Expand the Tripod Legs" below.
• To reduce the risk of injury, when folding the
tripod, keep the other hand away from the
tripod legs and be careful not to pinch your
fingers.
To Expand the Tripod Legs
a. Stand the tripod upright on its base.
b. Press the tripod release button (L) and slide down the carrying handle (M) to expand the
legs (J) as far as they will go.
c. Hold the carrying handle (M) with one hand to keep the legs spread, grab the tray (H) with
the other hand and lift the tray up until you hear a "click", which indicates that the legs are
secured.
NOTE:
Each leg can be further extended to level the tripod. The adjustable height range for
the tower light is 0-1.5 inches (0-38mm).
d. To further extend the legs to level the tripod, turn the extension lock knob (K)
counterclockwise to loosen the leg extension, then slide the knob up slowly along the leg.
When the tripod is level, tighten the extension lock knob clockwise to secure the leg in
place. If necessary, repeat this step with the other legs.
TIP:
It is much easier to extend a leg if the tripod is tipped slightly on the other two legs. This
will relieve the weight on the leg being extended. Hold the tripod by the carrying handle (M) to
prevent it from falling.
NOTE:
• There is a 1/4" (6.5 mm) hole in the foot of each leg. When using the tripod on an uneven
surface, nails or screws can be driven through these holes to secure the tripod.
To Collapse the Tripod Legs
a. Remove all items from the tray, if any.
b. Turn the extension lock knobs (K) counterclockwise to unlock the legs (J). Adjust the each
leg extension to their original positions (the lock knobs are at the bottom) and turn the lock
knobs clockwise to lock the legs.
c. Press the tripod release button (L) and slide the carrying handle (M) up to collapse the legs (J).
