Page 4: Purpose Of Use
III. Safety instructions The operation of the Nic-O-Tilt is at the user's own risk. The user is liable for damage to property and personal injury resulting from the operation of the Nic-O-Tilt. The nominal voltage of the device is 12V. Operation at a higher voltage may result in unwanted heat generation, which may lead to the destruction of the device. -
Page 5: Setting The Worm Gear Preload
Setting the worm gear preload After the running-in phase or prolonged use of the Nic-O-Tilt, the play in the transmission may increase. This cannot be avoided mechanically. The following steps are necessary to reduce this backlash: 1. remove the camera angle or extension bar from the turntable. - Page 6 5. Press the motor by hand towards the turntable and cover and tighten the two upper cap screws lightly (hand-tight) with continued pressure on the motor. 6. Tip: Place the Nic-O-Tilt on a suitable surface as shown and press it with one hand on the motor (Fig. 4).
- Page 7 7. Tighten two lower cylinder screws lightly (hand-tight) as well, force no longer has to be exerted. 8. Now slowly screw in the side grub screw DIN 916 - M4x10 (Fig. 5) to increase the preload. Fig. 5 9. turn the handwheel when turning it in and check that it moves smoothly, do not overtighten! If too much pretension is applied, the stepper motor will jam and stop turning (strong whirring / vibration).

Page 8: Troubleshooting: A Lot Of Play On The Turntable
Troubleshooting: A lot of play on the turntable If, under any circumstances, grub screws on the turntable should come loose, you will notice a rather large play on the turntable if it can be turned several degrees without much effort, noticeably more than if there is a pure gear backlash (see point V.). - Page 9 10. check extreme play on the turntable, this will no longer be the case. 11. Replace the motor cover and align it flush with the edge. 12. Tighten four cap screws to a maximum of 1.0Nm. 13. stick on the logo again and press it on firmly.
