Fusion FP-188 pedestals and FPH-188 height drives Using the column lock The column lock [6] locks the column in the fully depressed position. 26 • To release the column lock, push down on the steering ring [19] against residual pressure and rotate the column lock catch [6] downward into the OFF position. • To engage the column lock, rotate the column lock catch [6] upward into the vertical position. Fully depress the column [32] until the lock engages. Cable clamp 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. An over-pressurised pedestal may rise rapidly when the column lock is released, causing personal injury. 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. Fig. 8 Column lock release A cable clamp is provided on the base [15] and the power box [23] (at the South side of the pedestal, see Fig. 2).
Cable guard Operators guide The height-adjustable cable guard is lowered by depressing the recessed cable guard buttons [12]. These buttons are located on the side of the base, near each wheel. Once lowered, the cable guard can be raised in predefined increments as required. CAUTION! Cable guards should be set to the minimum height possible, to prevent the pedestal damaging studio power and data cables. Height adjustment The column has an on-shot stroke of 770 mm (30 in.) and the load can be moved over this distance in perfect balance by raising or lowering the steering ring [19]. CAUTION finger trap Steering Directional manual control of the pedestal is achieved by turning the steering ring [19]. The steering system is geared, so that the skid wheels turn by the same amount as the steering ring. This ensures, for example, that when the pedestal is set to CRAB, turning the steering ring by 90° will also cause the pedestal to change direction by 90°. The pedestal has a changeover mechanism to switch between STEER and CRAB mode. Rotating the knob [17] anti-clockwise selects CRAB mode and rotating it clockwise selects STEER mode. Although the CRAB/STEER knob [17] can be switched with the pedestal wheels in any position, the changeover will not occur until the steering ring [19] is rotated, allowing the mechanism to engage. Refer to Steering mechanism checks on page 18 for details. Switching on WARNING! 1. ALWAYS collapse the moving column and engage the column lock, when wheeling the pedestal across uneven/sloping surfaces between shots with the full payload fitted, to prevent loss of stability (toppling hazard!). 2. Take care not to trap fingers under the steering hub or between column elements while the pedestal height is being reduced. When the complete system is ready, ensure that all external cable connections are complete, observe the height and steering mode knob settings ([20], [9]) and turn on the power switch [22]. The pedestal will not suddenly move when switched on. 27
