Platform Slide Clamp Adjustment; Repositioning The Wedge Adaptor; Pan And Tilt Brake Adjustment - Vinten vector 750 Operating Instructions Manual

Platform slide clamp adjustment

(Fig 8)
The platform slide clamp (12) should be set so that, in the up or clamped position it prevents the platform
slide from being moved, while in the down or released position it allows free adjustment of the slide. To
adjust the clamp, proceed as follows:
On the left-hand side of the platform, carefully remove the plastic cap (12.2) to reveal the slotted
shaft (12.1).
Pull the slide clamp lever (12) fully upwards.
Slacken the clamp screw (12.3).
Turn the slotted shaft (12.1) fully clockwise to apply the clamp.
Tighten the clamp screw (12.3).
Move the lever over its full range and ensure that, in the clamped position, it prevents the slide from
being moved, while in the released position it allows free adjustment of the slide. Re-adjust if
necessary.
Replace the plastic cap (12.2) over the slotted shaft (12.1).

Repositioning the wedge adaptor

(Fig 9)
The wedge adaptor (1) is secured by four cap head screws (3) which pass through the wedge adaptor into
the slide plate (14).
WARNING!
To reposition the wedge adaptor:
Engage the centre lock (see Locking the platform on page 10) and remove the load.
Hold the body of the wedge adaptor (1) and use a 4 mm hexagon wrench to remove four securing
screws (3).
Reposition the wedge adaptor (1) on the slide plate (14), ensuring that the narrow end of the wedge
adaptor faces forwards.
Insert the four screws (3) in the holes in the wedge adaptor and tighten.

Pan and tilt brake adjustment

(Fig 10)
The pan and tilt brakes should be set so that the brakes begin to be applied after approximately one-third
of the lever travel.
The tilt brake is adjusted by inserting a 2 mm hexagon wrench through the hole (5.2) in the bottom of the
tilt unit cover and turning the grub screw (5.1). To adjust the tilt brake, proceed as follows:
Operate the tilt brake lever (5) from the OFF to the ON position.
If brake pressure is not felt after approximately one-third of the lever travel, turn the grub screw
(5.1) clockwise until this is achieved.
Operate the tilt brake lever (5) to the OFF position and ensure that the platform is free to move.
Overlong screws will prevent the slide plate from operating. Always
use the screws provided (M6 x 30 mm).
