General warnings
Whenever you want to use your Smartsystem stabilization system, you must first carefully
check out each component and make sure that your session is safe for you and your
equipment.
During the inspection, make sure that the mechanical parts of your system work properly
and that the electrical and video connections and video are properly plugged in.
After making sure that the whole system is perfectly working, you can start your work
session. This pre-inspection must be conducted every time you want to use your
Smartsystem stabilization system.
SmartSystem recommends the purchase of the Docking Bracket for locking and balancing
the Sled. If you don't use the docking bracket to balance and prepare the sled to be
connected to the arm, be very careful when you handle it. Your sled may be very heavy
and cause back injuries.
Whenever you connect the sled to the system, bend your legs instead of the back; do the
same when you release it.
If you use the system at night or in low light conditions, look out for the surrounding
environment. Have at least one assistant. If you're in a busy area, look out for cars.
Be careful, if you use the system near water. In this case you should have at least two
assistants. If you fall into the water, stay calm, do not panic. Although the vest padded
parts may serve as a life jacket, remember that the vest is not a floating jacket. If you have
fallen into the water with your equipment, first release the 4 ratchets, then remove the
buckles on your shoulders and around your hips. Flee to safety.
