Troubleshooting

Tripod is unstable or wobbly

Ensure all Quick-Clamp-System levers are fully locked. Adjust each leg individually to ensure solid contact with the ground and correct for any unevenness. Check that the tripod thread is not cross-threaded and the instrument is securely mounted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the Bosch BT 170 HD, extend the legs to your desired height and secure them using the Quick-Clamp-System levers. For maximum stability on uneven surfaces, adjust each leg's height individually until the tripod is level and stable. Attach your measurement instrument to the 5/8in tripod thread on top. Ensure the instrument is securely fastened.

Compatibility: The tripod is equipped with a standard 5/8in tripod thread, making it compatible with most professional construction lasers, levels, transits, and other surveying equipment that utilizes this common mounting interface.

Care: After use, especially on dusty or wet sites, clean the tripod legs and the clamp mechanisms with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Store the tripod in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Periodically check the clamp mechanisms for smooth operation and ensure all legs are free from debris.
