For transportation it is necessary to disengage the Ladder Chain and slide the Servo forward. This is accomplished by removing the Drive sprocket. Roller Guides Cradle SERVO SERVO Slide motor back for Operation Slide motor forward for Transport The Ladder Chain is threaded through the Sprockets as shown below. The Idler sprockets should be as close to the Track way as possible.
The blue Ladder Chain is tensioned at the factory. If it becomes loose you will find it necessary to tighten it. In order to tighten the Ladder Chain, first make sure the gap between the Idler Sprocket and the Track way is as small as possible.

Make sure you tighten the Dove Tail Locks to prevent the dove tail from sliding out of position. Dove Tail Lock Dove Tail Lock VERTICAL CAMERA BALANCE Balancing the camera vertically is done in the same way as with the Standard Head. Slide the camera up until you find the vertical position of equilibrium.
HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT Horizontal (Side to Side) Adjustment is the placing of the camera’s center of mass in the center of the trolley. This adjustment is not as critical as Vertical or Front to Back balancing. Normally, video cameras do not require any Horizontal Adjustment.
SERVO CONTROLLER RAMP This is an acceleration ramp and works exactly the same way as the Ramp Adjustment on the main Control Box. LIMIT Controls the range of Dutch movement and provides movement limits to prevent the Trolley from hitting the ends of the track. GAIN Helps soften the movement of the Trolley but if turned down too far may effect the accuracy of the move.
The Cables that come with the Dutch Head Kit allow the Kit to be used on all Jib sizes out to the Extreme. The Dutch Head cannot be used on the Jimmy Jib II (solid bar stock head). NOTE: If you find it necessary to run the Dutch on battery power it will be necessary to power it from a separate battery pack.

Limit Adjustment This adjustment must be made very carefully as it will prevent the camera or trolley from striking the head or the ends of the track. This is basically a range control that limits the degree that the Head is allowed to rotate. Release the Clutch and rotate the Control Knob all the way to the Right.
CABLE ROUTING Routing the Cables to the Camera on the Dutch Head can now be done. This process, when done for the first time, will probably take several hours so make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to do the Job right. Make sure you check cable clearance in Dutch Right and Dutch Left positions.
