User's Manual

The Para-Locks (a) are designed to prevent accidental disassembly of the legs and

column and add additional strength to the mechanism and tripod.

If the Para-Lock (a) seems locked, but the leg section is not rmly locked, then the Para-

Lock is locked in the open position. Rotate the opposite way until locked and check.

To undo, grip the cap (b) and rotate it counter-clockwise (if looking down upon cap)

until it disengages with the Para-Lock (a). Then, undo the Para-Lock until it comes free of

the thread. You can then pull the leg or column section out for routine maintenance or

cleaning.

The internal Chicken Lips (shims)

(d) and should be carefully lined

up with the internal key line when

reassembling leg sections.

Cleaning

It is advised that you wash your tripod after

using it in saltwater, sand, dirt, or mud and

this can be done by undoing each leg.

Take each individual leg lock and unscrew

until completely undone, and and gently

pull the tubing (d) out, allowing you to clean

the threads of the legs. Be careful not to lose

the Chicken Lips (shims) (c ). Once cleaned,

dry all the parts with a clean cloth. Do not

leave them to air dry. Then ensure that the

Chicken Lips (shims) are in place lining up

with the hole (e) and then carefully insert

the leg, lining up the internal key lines with

the gaps in the Chicken Lips and tighten the

leg lock in place.

Never use WD40 on your tripod as it can be

a solvent. Always use silicone grease.
