Routine Maintenance; Replacing The Battery - Vinten Vector 75 Manual De Instrucciones

Horizontal tracks (Fig 6)
No dismantling is necessary to clean the horizontal tracks; proceed as follows:
Remove the payload (if fitted).
Set the balance mechanism to its maximum setting by pushing in the Perfect Balance
knob [15] and turning it clockwise to its stop.
Tilt the platform fully backwards and apply the tilt brake [5].
Pull down the flap guard [28] to reveal the bevel gear [26]. Access to the horizontal
tracks [27] is through the holes in the bevel gear, which may be rotated freely.
Using a pipe cleaner (or similar) moistened with an isopropanol-based cleaner (3M VBH
or sim.), clean the two horizontal tracks. Upwards pressure on the balance mechanism
will allow the area of track under the horizontal rollers to be cleaned.
Release the flap guard [28] and the tilt brake [5] and return the platform to the horizontal
position.
Refit the payload (if required).

Routine maintenance

Routine maintenance on the Vector 75 pan and tilt head is limited to annual replacement
of the level bubble illumination battery.
During normal use, check the effectiveness of the platform slide clamp and the
adequacy of level bubble illumination.
No further routine maintenance is required.

Replacing the battery

(Fig 7)
The level bubble on the Vector 75 pan and tilt head is illuminated by a battery-powered LED. A
time-delay circuit initiated by a switch controls the LED. The battery should be replaced at yearly
intervals or whenever the illumination is considered inadequate.
NOTE: Dependent on the type of mounting, it may be necessary to remove the
head from the mounting for access to the battery compartment.
To install or replace the battery proceed as follows:
Remove three screws [29] which secure the battery compartment cover plate [32].
Install the battery [30] by pushing the connector [31] onto the battery terminals.
Position the battery in the battery compartment, ensuring that the wiring is not trapped.
Refit the battery compartment cover plate [32], ensuring battery locates in cover plate.
Secure with three screws [29].
Press the switch [7] and ensure the LED is lit for approximately 15 seconds.
