Ensure the stand is placed on a perfectly level and solid surface. Verify that the tripod legs are fully extended and firmly planted. Check that the vehicle's support point is centered on the cradle.
Height adjustment is stiff or difficult
Clean any debris from the adjustment shaft and winding mechanism. Lubricate the threaded rod of the winding handle with a suitable grease. Ensure the height pin is fully disengaged before attempting to adjust.
Rust or corrosion visible on the stand
Clean affected areas with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or a light coat of oil to prevent further corrosion. Avoid storing in damp environments.
