Step : Loosen the wing nut at the top of the support stand legs as shown in
Figure 2.
Step 2: Expand the legs so that the support stand will stand up on its own as
depicted in Figure 3, and then tighten the wing nut.
Step 3: Open the flip locks on the light stand joints to allow the light stand
sections to move freely. Raise and lower the sections of the stand to the
desired height, and close the flip locks to hold the sections in place. Refer to
Figure 4 for a detailed look at these locks.
At this point, the support stand should stand on its own at you desired height, as illustrated in Figure 5.
Step 4: Mount the premium ac light socket on the light stand. Start by loosening the dial at the base of the
premium ac light socket. Slide the premium ac light socket onto the tip of the light stand as shown in
Figure 6 and tighten the dial until the premium ac light socket fits securely as shown in Figure 7.
Step 5: Adjust the angle of the premium ac light socket by loosening the tabbed dial on the base as shown
in Figure 8. Swivel the top of the premium ac light socket until you have it positioned in the desired angle.
Then tighten the tabbed dial on the base of the premium ac light socket until it is secure.
