Health and Safety
Intended Use
The ENG 75/2 D HD tripod is a two-stage aluminium tripod with fast
action clamps for easy setup. The optional mid-level spreader 75 HD
features a fast-action clamp with a profile allowing the tripod to be set
to two predefined footprints. The optional ground spreader SP 75 can
be adjusted to suit other footprints as required by the shooting
environment.
WARNING! Risk of personal injury or injury to others. All
personnel must be fully trained and adhere to correct manual
handling techniques and Healthy & Safety regulations. It is
the responsibility of the local organisation to enforce safe
working practices at all times.
WARNING! Do not exceed the maximum payload.
WARNING! Tripod spike feet can be dangerous, take care
handling.
WARNING! Finger entrapment. Avoid trapping fingers
when collapsing and extending the tripod.
WARNING! Trip hazard. Set the tripod footprint to suit the
shooting environment.
WARNING! Toppling hazard. Do not leave unattended.
Keep out of reach of children.
CAUTION! Do not over tighten the tripod leg locks. When in
use always lock the tripod leg clamps to prevent the tripod
collapsing.
CAUTION! Hold the camera securely when (a) mounting or
dismounting from the fluid head (b) making adjustments to
the tripod height or footprint.
CAUTION! Do not place your foot or heavy weight onto the
spreader.
CAUTION! Always remove the camera before transporting.

Assembly
Setting up the Tripod 6. Detach the bungee cord hook to release the legs.
7. Holding the tripod upright, open out the legs and set the footprint
of the tripod to suit the shooting environment.
CAUTION! Use the spreader to ensure the tripod legs are
spread sufficiently, so that the Centre of Gravity of the tilted
payload remains within the footprint of the tripod. Use the
tie-down hook on the tripod for additional stability.
Notes
1. The following procedure refers to a two-stage tripod
fitted with a mid-level spreader (if necessary, refer to
Attaching the mid-level spreader 75 HD on page 7).
2. ALWAYS use the spreaders to increase the rigidity of
the tripod.
3. At the fullest extension of the spreader and with all legs
fully retracted, the tripod can be used at its lowest
operating height. Although the tripod can be set up
lower than this without the spreader, it is NOT
recommended as the tripod geometry becomes
unstable.
4. Do not use spikes on hard ground or delicate surfaces.
5. The tie-down hook can be used either to hang a
backpack on for additional stability or as a storage point
for items.

Assembly
8. Extend the upper stage by lifting the clamp levers and adjusting
the height of the tripod as required. When complete, push down
the clamp levers, until they snap into the ‘locked’ position.
9. Adjust the operating height by flipping down the leg clamp levers
on the lower stage and pulling the tripod up to the desired height.
When complete, push up the lower stage clamp levers, until they
snap into the ‘locked’ position.

Assembly
Attaching the mid-level spreader 75 HD
1. Hold each spreader arm between thumb and forefinger, then using
the other hand squeeze the red attachment button.
2. Align the spreader hook with the tripod leg from underneath and
release the red attach/release button to lock the spreader arm in
place.
Attaching the rubber feet 75
1. Place the rubber foot between the spikes. Check the markings on
the foot for orientation. The ‘INSIDE’ marking must be turned
towards the centre of the tripod.
2. Push down firmly on the leg, put your fingers through the larger
loop, and pull the rubber pull-loop over the latching nose.
CAUTION! Ensure that the red attach/release button is fully
out after attaching the spreader to the tripod. Failure to
attach the spreader correctly could cause damage to the
equipment.

Transportation
Attaching the bungee cord hook
The bungee cord hook is used to secure the tripod legs together when
in transit and is housed underneath the base of an upper leg. When the
tripod is collapsed, the bungee cord hook can be stretched around the
upper legs and clipped onto the leg assembly.

Maintenance
General
The tripod is robustly made to high engineering standards and little
attention is required to maintain serviceability except for regular
cleaning. Repairs and any adjustments beyond those described in this
manual should be carried out by qualified persons only. Contact
Sachtler headquarters, your local Sachtler office or representative.
Routine checks
During use, check the following:
• Check tripod for signs of wear or damage. Replace as necessary.
Cleaning
During normal use the only cleaning required is a periodic wipe-down
with a lint-free cloth. Any dirt that accumulates during storage or
periods of non-use may be removed with a vacuum cleaner. Particular
attention should be paid to the bowl base of the tripod.
However, use out-of-doors under adverse conditions will require
special attention. Salt spray should be washed off with fresh water at
the earliest opportunity. Sand and dirt acts as an abrasive and should
be removed using a semi-stiff brush or vacuum cleaner.
Routine checks
During normal use, check the following regularly:
• Check the effectiveness of the leg clamps (refer to ‘Checking the
effectiveness of the leg clamps’ below) and adjust if necessary
(refer to Adjusting the leg clamps on page 12).
• Check the effectiveness of the locking bolts. The bolts should
move freely and retract fully and the spreader hook should be
easily removable.
• Check the effectiveness of the spreader locks. The spreader arms
must be able to extend and retract smoothly. Check the spreader
lock allows sufficient tightening.
No further routine maintenance is required.
Checking the effectiveness of the leg clamps
To check the effectiveness of each leg clamp, proceed as follows:
• Extend all three tripod legs fully and apply the clamp levers.
• Position each leg in turn vertically on a set of weighing scales.
• Gradually add a load to the leg, until either or both clamps begin to
slip. Note the reading on the scales at which this occurs.
• A reading of less than 66 lbs (30 kg) will necessitate adjustment
(refer to Adjusting the leg clamps below for instructions).
CAUTION! Do NOT use solvent-based or oil-based
cleaners, abrasives or wire brushes to remove
accumulations of dirt as these will damage the protective
surfaces. Use mild, detergent-based cleaners only.

12
EN
Maintenance
Adjusting the leg clamps
Shouldthe legclampsbecomeineffective,theymay requireadjustment
(refer to Checking the effectiveness of the leg clamps on page 11).
To adjust the leg clamp mechanism proceed as follows:
Set the clamp lever to the ‘unlocked’ or horizontal position.
Using a 3 mm Allen key, tighten the four screws incrementally by
approximately 15 degrees.
Test the effectiveness of the clamp and repeat the process, until 66 lbs
(30 kg) is achieved. Check that the clamp lever can be applied easily.
CAUTION! Do NOT over-adjust the clamp lever mechanism
to support more than 66 lbs (30 kg) as this will cause
damage to the tripod.
