bolts and lock nuts. Do not over-tighten the bolts. The tripod legs and leg
braces must be able to pivot.
2.2 Tripod Base Positioning
Tripod installation near power lines is dangerous. The
minimum safe recommended distance from overhead
power lines is 1 1/2 times the height of the tripod and
mast combined. Call your local utility providers to
locate buried utilities prior to installation.
The tripod base has three legs, which are individually adjustable, that allow the
tripod to be installed over non-level terrain.
Prepare the area where the tripod will be installed. The tripod requires an area
approximately 3.4 m (11 ft) in diameter. Natural vegetation and the ground
surface should be disturbed as little as possible, but brush and tall weeds should
be removed.
Stand the tripod base up on end, and rotate the feet perpendicular to the legs.
Each leg has a clamp bracket with a bolt that locks the leg in place when
tightened.
