General
1 Protouch products are robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is required to
maintain serviceability save regular cleaning. Attention to the following points will ensure a long and useful
service life with minimum need for repair.
Cleaning
2 During indoor use, the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth. Dirt
accumulated during storage may be removed using a semi-stiff brush. Particular attention should be paid to
the ball mounting face of the head, the space between the tilting assembly and the base and the mounting
bowl of the tripod.
3 Use out-of-doors under adverse conditions will require special attention. Salt spray should be washed
off with fresh water at the earliest opportunity. Sand and dirt acts as an abrasive and should be removed using
a semi-stiff brush or vacuum cleaner.
NOTE: Use only detergent-based cleaners. DO NOT use solvent- or oil-based cleaners, abrasives
or wire brushes to remove accumulations of dirt, as these damage the protective surfaces.
Routine maintenance

4.1 Check the illumination of the level bubble. Replace battery if necessary.
