Removing the Camera Head

1. Snap the spanner wrench onto the spring, just behind the camera.

3. Unscrew the spring from the camera.
   
4. Unscrew the locking sleeve from the camera.
   
5. Pull the camera straight out of the sonde's socket.

Installing the Camera Head

1. Align the camera head pins with the sonde's socket and push together.
   
2. Slide push cable locking sleeve onto the camera.
   
3. To make sure the safety cables are straight when you screw the camera onto the spring, twist the camera back (counter-clockwise) approximately 1.5 turns.
   
4. The sonde will twist when you thread the camera onto the spring. Rotate the camera one turn counter-clockwise to counteract the twisting and then thread onto the spring.
   
5. Thread the spring onto the camera until the end of the spring is flush against the camera head.
   NOTICE
   Do not over-tighten the spring.
