STEP E: ATTACHING PEDESTAL / TURNTABLES

The pedestal and turntable assemblies for your Meridian TM-400 all use the same mounting system. The adjustable pedestal (14, 16, 17, 18, 19) and the 18”turntable base(20) are fitted with a clamp collar. The collar is designed to rest upon the large thrust bearing and support plate, which are placed “free floating” around the pedestal axle.

The adjustable pedestal can be adjusted into various heights using the two cotter pins (15) provided. The adjustable pedestal has a series of set screws for locking the pedestal into a fixed position, removing any lateral clearance needed for pedestal adjustment.

The top of the assembly is outfitted with single pedestal cap attached by a set screw. The pededstal cap has a 1/4-20 thread that can accept bolts, for attaching small platforms and/or objects.
