Horizontal tracks
(Fig 6)
No dismantling is necessary to clean the horizontal tracks. Proceed as follow:
Remove the payload (if fitted).
Set the balance mechanism to its maximum setting by pushing in the knob (15) and turning it
clockwise to its stop.
Tilt the platform fully backwards and apply the tilt brake (5).
Pull down the flap guard (28) to reveal the bevel gear (26). Access to the horizontal tracks (27) is
through the holes in the bevel gear, which may be rotated freely.
Using a pipe cleaner (or similar) moistened with an isopropanol-based cleaner (3M VBH or similar),
clean the two horizontal tracks. Upwards pressure on the balance mechanism will allow the area
of track under the horizontal rollers to be cleaned.
Release the flap guard (28) and the tilt brake (5) and return the platform to the horizontal position.
Refit the payload (if required).

Routine maintenance

Level bubble illumination unit battery replacement

(Fig 7)
The level bubble on the Vector 750 pan and tilt head is illuminated by a battery-powered light-emitting diode
(LED). A time-delay circuit initiated by a switch controls the LED. The battery should be replaced at yearly
intervals or whenever the illumination is considered inadequate.
NOTE: Dependent on the type of mounting, it may be necessary to remove the head from the
mounting for access to the battery compartment.
To install or replace the battery:
Remove three screws (29) which secure the battery compartment cover plate (32) to the head.
Install or replace the battery (30), pushing the connector (31) onto the battery terminals.
Position the battery in the battery compartment, ensuring that the wiring is not trapped.
Refit the battery cover plate (32), ensuring battery locates in cover plate. Secure with three screws
(29).
Press the switch (7) and ensure the lamp is lit for approximately 15-seconds.

Adjustments

After considerable use the platform slide clamp may require adjustment.
To enable the payload to be correctly balanced, the wedge adaptor may require repositioning.
The pan and tilt brakes may require adjustment after considerable use.
