Stand Setup Instructions

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE STAND TO AVOID DAMAGE AND INJURY

The PartyBar tripod stand includes a removable extension pole, which has the advantage of shrinking the footprint of the stand when disassembled, for ease of transportation. With the extension pole installed, the stand can lift your fixtures over 7ft in the air.

To use the extension pole, simply press the connection collar (B) to the top of the tripod (A), then insert the extension (C) into the collar. Push down until both poles are fully inserted into the collar and tighten the knob.

Max Weight Capacity: 25 lbs

WARNING! In order to avoid accidents, it is highly recommended to weigh down the base of the tripod using counterweights or sandbags while the stand is set to maximum height. Failure to do so may result in the stand being tipped over accidentally, causing damage and bodily injury.

However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.

To clean the product, follow the instruction below:

1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.
4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or Isopropyl Alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
