Unpacking

The head is supplied with a telescopic pan bar, automatic wedge adaptor and a battery (already
fitted) for the level bubble illumination unit.
A second telescopic or fixed short or extra short pan bar for use with a zoom or focus controller
is optional. Ensure that all items are unpacked prior to disposal of the packing materials.
After unpacking ensure that:
The pan and tilt brakes ([4], [5]) are on (see Pan and tilt brakes on page 11).
The centre lock [16] is engaged (see Locking the platform on page 11). Always
engage the centre lock before lifting or carrying the head.
CAUTION! Do NOT lift the head by the platform. Only use the base and/or the
carrying handle to prevent damaging the head.

Mounting the head

NOTE: When mounted on Vinten 'Hawk' or 'Teal' pedestals, clearance between the
head and the pedestal weight tray prevents the use of 1.6 kg (5.5 lb) and
0.5 kg (1.0 lb) trim weights. Use alternative weights or fit the adaptor plate
kit (part no. 3354-900SP) between the head and pedestal.
WARNING!
1. Only mount this product on equipment designed to support a
minimum of 95 kg (109 lb).
2. Before installing the head, hold a fixing bolt in position and check that
the threaded end does not project more than 20 mm (3/4 in.) above the
mounting face.
The head is mounted on a tripod, pedestal or suitable firm surface using the four fixing bolts and
washers. The four bolt-fixing holes [19] on the underside of the head are easily located using the
bolt-hole position indicators [20]. Tighten the bolts with the spanner provided.
After mounting the head, ensure it is level using the level bubble [8], which may be illuminated
by pressing the switch [7]. The light will go out after 15 seconds (timeout function).

Pan bars

Fit the pan bars to the head and adjust the position of each one before tightening the clamp [10]
on the mounting [18]. Adjust the length of the telescopic pan bar(s).
