  • Page 16 Operators guide Insert the camera wedge into the wedge adaptor and push it forward until it fully engages. Push in the operating lever [27] until it lies parallel with the wedge adaptor body. During this operation resistance of the spring-loaded over-centre mechanism will be felt.
  • Page 17 Vector 750i encoded pantographic manual head Adjust payload C of G height When fore and aft balance has been achieved, adjust the payload C of G height as follows: Using the pan bar, tilt the platform forward and backward. When correctly balanced, there should be no perceptible tilting force on the pan bar at any angle of tilt and the head should remain in any tilt position to which it is set.
  • Page 18 Operators guide To engage the lock: Hold the platform in the horizontal position and push the button [22] inwards until it latches and the release catch [22.1] appears. Use the pan bar to rock the platform slightly whilst pushing the button [22]. To release the centre lock [22], rock the platform slightly and push down on the release catch [22.1].
  • Page 19 Adjustments and repairs should be carried out by a competent and qualified person. Routine maintenance Routine maintenance on the Vector 750i encoded pantographic head is limited.

Upward pressure on the balance mechanism will allow the area of track under the vertical rollers to be cleaned.
  • Page 21 Vector 750i encoded pantographic manual head [17] [33] [21] [34] [35] Fig. 8 Cleaning the horizontal tracks Using a pipe cleaner (or similar) moistened with an isopropanol-based cleaner (3M VBH or similar), clean the two horizontal tracks [34]. Upward pressure on the balance mechanism [34] will allow the area of track under the horizontal rollers to be cleaned.
  • Page 22 Operators guide [39] [36] [38] [37] Fig. 9 Installing the battery (bottom view) Refit the battery cover plate [39], ensuring the battery locates in the coverplate.
