Important note:
Before fitting the bracing, make sure that the holes in the prop and the 4 way Fork Head
or H20 Drop Head are correctly aligned (see Practical examples)

Important note:
● The 4 Way Fork Head
or H20 Drop Head must
be fixed onto the prop
before the screw-on
couplers are mounted.
● If the screw-on
couplers are mounted
first, this makes it
impossible to retract the
inner prop all
the way.
● Carefully screw on
the screw-on couplers,
so as not to damage
the props.
Intermediate Support Head

beams when additional support
is needed between FDP Euro
