1 Safety instructions
➪Pneumatic column is under pressure (up to 12 bar)
➪If one of the column lids has been damaged there is a
possibility of getting injured.Therefore only use the column
again after its repair by a service technician.
➪Don’t use the column before it isn’t correctly locked into the
dolly.
➪Never release the transport lock without load since it will
move up strongly.This may even cause injuries or damages.
➪Never push down column with applied “LOCK” or “DRAG”.
2 Characteristics
The Vario Ped 2-75 and the Studio Ped 2-75 are “true” two
stage pedestals for OB and studio applications, respectively.
They have an extended “on-air” stroke of 77cm / 30 inches.

Manual
Press down red slider at the side of the dolly and
swing out swivel arm at the same time, release sli-
der after disengaging. Make sure that swivel arm
locks again automatically in the desired position and
slider moves up.
1. locking position = standard track
2. locking position = narrow track (690mm)
Changing track is not possible when using the
Studio dolly.Lock at least one pair of wheels with the
wheel brake.
Check, whether the lock collar on the guide tube of
the dolly is opened sufficiently to receive the column.
3.1.2 Column
The contracted column with the transport lock enga-
ged can be carried on the exterior steering rod.
Place the column utmost vertical and in the right
position into the guide tube (watch position of the
side cardan).When the locating pin engages and the
column is in its lowest position the lock collar must
be tightened.Do not overtighten the lock collar!

By turning the steering wheel by a maximum of 180°
the steering column automatically engages into the
steering mechanism of the dolly.
3.1.3 Steering wheel
The steering wheel is attached to the upper gear
box with three screws.To lock it use the enclosed
hexagonal key, which is located at the side of the
dolly (4 mm).
Movable red clips, which serve as indicators for the
running direction, are located on the steering wheel.
3.2. Camera setup and column pressurizing procedure
Turn the steering wheel so that the recess for Quickfix ope-
ration is accessible (the two red arrows meet).
The hexagonal key (6 mm) located next to the dolly’s trans-
port boxes for trim weights opens the Quickfix camera head
lock.When opened, the red indicator pins move out. Fit the
pan and tilt head, close the Quickfix (red indicator pins
move in).
Caution: The Quickfix lock will accept all Sachtler flat
base heads directly or via adapter. Check for
compatibility before attempting to fit another
manufacturer’s head.
Only after the complete camera equipment is mounted on
the column (max. 75kg / 165lbs) the transport
lock should be opened by depressing the
column and disengaging out the locking lever.
Caution: Should the transport lock be released without
a load, the column will rise by itself.

The column should be filled with air.This is done with the
enclosed pump or a compressor (max. 12 bar in depressed
column position). A safety valve is installed in the system to
prevent overpressurizing the column.
In general the column is filled with a minimum pressure of
2 bar (29 psi) in order to secure a permanent tension on
the installed cables.This equals to a neccessary payload of
10 kg / 22 lbs.
Connect pump/compressor; the connecting valve is located
at the side of the Quickfix.
In order to compensate for any change in temperature
during a broadcast, three trim weights should be placed on
the column.
Now the column can be pressurized with air until it moves
up by itself.
Disconnect the hose from the column and press the center
pin of the valve to perform a fine adjustment for a precise
weight compensation.

3.3 Description of dolly functions
3.3.1 Wheel brake
Each pair of wheels can be locked individually by
pressing the red brake knobs (only the red area of
the knob is visible when brake is on).
Release the brake by pressing the knob again. If the
brake is off, the green indicator ring below the red
area is visible.
3.3.2 Switching from crab to steer
Press down red knob on dolly center for 3 wheel
drive (crab). Press again for 1 wheel drive (steer);
green ring is visible.Turn the wheel 180° to engage
the new steering mode.
3.3.3 Wheels and cable guards
To position the cable guards the clamping knobs on
the front and back sides are loosened and the guard
is moved to the desired height.Tighten the knobs
again.To change the wheels (e.g. mounting of OB
wheels) the two hexagonal bolts on the side (bottom
side of swivel arm) have to be opened with the enc-
losed hexagonal key (4 mm) and the wheel assemb-
ly can be removed.
To fit another wheel assembly, slide the wheel set in
and turn until the centring pin engages. Screw in the
hexagonal bolt tight.
