<strong>Fusion</strong> <strong>FP</strong>-<strong>188</strong> pedestals <strong>and</strong> <strong>FP</strong>H-<strong>188</strong> height drives<br />
Installation<br />
Unpacking<br />
Unpack the pedestal ensuring that all transport packing <strong>and</strong> retaining fixings are removed,<br />
including the Velcro strap (part no. 3320-268) securing the column lock.<br />
Steering mechanism checks<br />

WARNING!<br />
1. Heavy – DO NOT lift the pedestal unaided. This product weighs<br />
up to 130 kg (286.6 lb).<br />
2. DO NOT lift the pedestal by the steering ring—use the lifting<br />
h<strong>and</strong>les on top of the pedestal base.<br />
3. DO NOT release the column lock, if the pedestal pressure<br />
exceeds 7.2 bar (105 psi) without a balancing load installed.<br />
Reduce pressure as necessary using the Schrader valve cap.<br />
1. Rotate the CRAB/STEER knob [17] anti-clockwise to select CRAB (x4 wheels) <strong>and</strong><br />
turn the steering ring [19], until CRAB mode engages. Check that the pedestal<br />
“crabs” correctly, freely moving as directed by the steering ring without any rotation<br />
of the pedestal base.<br />
2. Rotate the CRAB/STEER knob [17] clockwise to select STEER (x1 wheel) <strong>and</strong> turn<br />
the steering ring [19], until it locks in position <strong>and</strong> STEER mode engages. Check that<br />
the pedestal turns freely, rotated by the locked steering ring.<br />
Pressurising the pedestal<br />
The pedestal or height drive may be pressurised from an external pressure source (see page 20)<br />
or by using a portable pump (see page 21). Six trim weights are provided for compensation of<br />
pressure variation.<br />
CAUTION! This pedestal must be pressurised with nitrogen or clean, dry air only to<br />
prevent internal corrosion.<br />
A correctly pressurised pedestal will balance its payload—allowing movement over the full onshot<br />
stroke of the moving column with minimum effort—<strong>and</strong> maintain its position when the<br />
steering ring is released. The balance can be adjusted by adding/removing trim weights to/from<br />
the weight tray pockets [5] or by venting some of the internal pressure.<br />
CAUTION! Do not reduce pedestal pressure below 3.5 bar (50 psi). This ensures<br />
that the elevating mechanism remains in tension, preventing damage to<br />
the pedestal.
