4.6 Ground
Figure 4.6 – Rigging frame resting only on the spindle feet
1. When setting up a system on uneven surfaces, such as gravel or grass, always put a pres-
sure-resistant surface under all four spindle feet!
2. Make sure that all four spindle feet rest completely on the pressure-resistant shims and
that the surface can withstand the total weight.
3. Note that depending on the system design, either the front or rear spindle feet may be
able to carry more weight.
WARNING
4. Turn all four Outrigger spindle feet until the VERARF600 or VERA RF900 rigging frame is
completely lifted off the ground. The rigging frame itself must not be in contact with the
ground

Always level the VERARF600 or VERA RF900 rigging frame using a spirit level before com-
mencing system construction. To do so, turn the spindle feet.
Make sure that the VERARF600 or VERARF900 rigging frame rests completely on the spindle
feet.

4.8 Pitfalls
Make sure that no one can trip over your system structures, or over individual components!
This is especially true for all pressure-resistant shims and spindle feet!
WARNING
For each downtilt system structure, make sure that the center of gravity never exceeds the
front spindle feet!
Secure the entire downtilt system structure against tipping!
WARNING
Before setting up the system outdoors, consider unforeseeable wind conditions at the ope-
ration site!
In the event of imminent danger, dismantle your system structures immediately!

5. Transport and Storage
Ensure that the surface of the outrigger is not damaged during transport and storage. Moisture
may penetrate where steel surfaces are exposed by scratches and result in corrosion.
This is why the product should be transported and stored in a safe, careful, dry and largely
dust-free manner.
The original packaging is not suitable as permanent storage and transport packaging.
