Axis Dolly (circular body) assembly

First, make sure the configuration of the legs is always ABC counter clockwise
(or the dolly charts will not be accurate and you will get erratic results when dialing in degrees),
and that plates on dolly body are facing down or away from the leg extensions
(or the faces of the degree plates will get scratched and the knobs will not secure the leg
extensions to the dolly body as securely). This is a photo of the original Axis Dolly, but
the leg orientation is exactly the same.

This is the carriage bolt setting for standard tripod and assembly.

This is the carriage bolt setting for wide tripod and assembly.

Insert knob threads through holes shown above. Make sure degree plate on dolly body
is not sandwiched between body and leg (degree plate not attached in photo).

This image shows the plates together.

If you want to use the dolly plate in full configuration, use the innermost 3 carriage bolts
to secure the plate to the dolly.

Align square holes to mount the spreader to the leg.

This shows the squares aligned. Secure with included nuts and bolts.

To fold the dolly for transportation, first remove the above show carriage bolts and knobs.

Fold the two legs (you will have to loosen the two knobs securing these two legs.

Tighten all knobs and attach loose knobs and bolts so you don't lose them.
