As an option a 3 stage column is also available. It consists of 2 x 30cm / 1ft column
extensions and a 60cm / 2ft Mounting Column. Assemble the column extension
between the column and the base dolly locking the 12 locking bolts securely.

3. For Standard Versions 9 to 18 we recommend using the 4 telescopic column
supports. In smaller versions they are not required but using them does increase the
columns stability. To mount the supports connect the grooved end to the connection
on the column, securing with the locking pin. Remove the locking pin in the middle of
the column support enabling the rod to reach the connection on the base dolly and
secure with the locking pin. The locking pin previously removed from the centre of the
column support can now be reinserted to fix the length. Turn the grooved part in a
clockwise direction to apply tension.
Tip:
Should the column not have the 4 connections for the column supports, an
adapter is available. It is connected to the column between the pan bearing
oder besser turnstile??? and the top of the column. To do so the pan bearing
must be removed by unscrewing the 6 screws. The adapter must be mounted
in line to the connections on the base dolly with the adapter ring connectors
pointing towards the base dolly. The original screws must be replaced by
5mm longer screws.
