3.5 Stowing the Positioner 

The customer may desire to adjust preset position [1] before using this function. 

To stow the positioner: 

1.  Perform the pre-operation check (Section 3.1). 

2.  Press [1]. 

3.  Press [Pre]. The positioner will move to the preset stowed position. When moving to the 

stowed position, the positioner will first pan and then tilt. As the positioner nears the 
stowed position, it will slow down. If an emergency stop is required as the positioner is 
moving to position, move the joystick to cancel out the command. The system is stowed. 

4.  Power down the system. 

 

3.6 Transportation 

Before transporting the system, the system needs to be secured. Do not transport without the 
positioner stowed and secured. It is the responsibility of the customer to properly secure the 
payload when transporting the system.
