Fusion FP-188 pedestals and FPH-188 height drives Pressurising from an external pressure source A pressure-reducing valve must be fitted between the gas cylinder and the outlet connection of the hose. The maximum pressure on the outlet side of the reducing valve must not exceed 18.9 bar (275 psi). To pressurise the pedestal from an external pressure source, proceed as follows: 20 WARNING! DO NOT adjust the pressure relief valve. Personal injury and pedestal damage may occur. (a) (b) Fig. 5 Column lock (a) locked/ON position, (b) unlocking/OFF position 1. Set the column lock [6] to the ON position and fully depress the moving column [32] until the column lock engages (Fig. 5). 2. Rotate the steering ring [19], so that the pressure gauge [1] is visible through the window (remove a trim weight, if necessary). 3. Remove the Schrader valve cap [3] and connect the charging line from the pressure source. 4. Turn on the pressure supply and slowly increase the pedestal pressure to the required pressure. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure indicated by the leading edge of the red sector on the gauge [1]. WARNING! DO NOT exceed 7.2 bar (105 psi) without a balancing load installed. 5. Disconnect the charging line, but do not refit the Schrader valve cap [3] at this stage.
Pressurising the pedestal using a portable pump Operators guide A portable pump (part no. 3357-21) is available to pressurise the pedestal manually. To pressurise the pedestal using a pump, proceed as follows: 1. Set the column lock [6] to the ON position and fully depress the moving column [4], until the column lock engages (see Using the column lock on page 26). 2. Rotate the steering ring [19] so that the pressure gauge [1] is visible through the window (remove a trim weight, if necessary). 3. Remove the Schrader valve cap [3]. 4. Set up the pump following the manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the hose to the charging valve on the pedestal. 5. Using full, steady strokes pressurise the pedestal to the required pressure. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure indicated by the leading edge of the red sector on the gauge [1]. 6. Disconnect the hose from the pedestal charging valve, but do not refit the Schrader valve cap at this stage. Remove the pump. Fitting the load The pedestal is fitted with a standard Vinten four-bolt mounting plate [2] for direct mounting of Fusion pan and tilt heads or for use with a Quickfix adaptor. The mounting bolts are captive in the pedestal and the bolt heads are accessible from the underside of the mounting plate when the column is fully extended. Directly mounting a Fusion head to the pedestal or height drive WARNING! 1. DO NOT release the column lock, if the pedestal pressure exceeds 7.2 bar (105 psi) without a balancing load installed. Reduce as necessary, using the Schrader valve cap. 2. DO NOT lean over the pedestal. A pressurised pedestal could rise rapidly when the column lock is released. ALWAYS restrain the column by hand pressure on the weight tray. To fit the pan and tilt head and payload, proceed as follows: 1. Rotate the steering ring [19] so that the pressure gauge [1] is visible through the viewing window (remove a trim weight, if necessary). CAUTION! Do not reduce pedestal pressure below 3.5 bar (50 psi). This ensures that the elevating mechanism remains in tension, preventing damage to the pedestal. 21
