Pan brake knob adjustment

(Fig 8)
Because its movement is restricted, the pan brake knob (15) may require adjustment after prolonged use.
To adjust the pan brake knob:
Remove the securing screw (15.1) and pull the knob (15) off the shaft (15.2).
Turn the shaft (15.2) clockwise until the pan brake is fully applied.
Install the knob (15) on the shaft (15.2) approximately at right angles to the body of the head.
Turn the knob fully counterclockwise and ensure the brake is released. Turn the knob clockwise
and ensure the brake is applied before the knob reaches the end of its travel.
Readjust as necessary and secure the knob with the screw (15.1).

Tilt brake knob adjustment

(Fig 8)
Because its movement is restricted, the tilt drag knob (4) may also require adjustment after prolonged use:
To adjust the tilt brake knob:
Slide off the rubber tilt drag knob (3) as shown in (Fig 8).
Loosen the drag clamp grubscrew (3.2) and remove the drag knob actuator (3.1) from the drag
shaft (3.3).
Loosen the brake clamp grubscrew (4.1) and remove the tilt brake knob (4) from the brake shaft
(4.2).
Turn the brake shaft (4.2) counterclockwise until the tilt brake is fully applied.
Install the knob (4) on the brake shaft (4.2) with the lever approximately 30° - 45° past vertical,
pointing downward toward the rear of the head, or as suitable to the operator.
Turn the knob fully clockwise and ensure that the brake is released. Turn the knob counterclock-
wise and ensure the brake is applied at a suitable position before the knob interferes with other
head controls.
Readjust as necessary and secure the knob with the clamp grubscrew (4.1).
Refit the drag knob actuator (3.1) onto the drag shaft (3.3) and secure with the clamp grubscrew
(3.2).
Push the rubber drag knob (3) back onto the actuator (3.1).

'Pozi-Loc' tripod leg clamp adjustment

Bedding-in occurs with 'Pozi-Loc' leg clamps, which may necessitate resetting the clamp. Check the effec-
tiveness of each leg clamp and adjust as follows:
Top clamp
(Fig 9)
Turn the clamp knob (21) to the vertical, 'off' position
Remove screw (21.1). Using a suitable peg spanner, back off the threaded insert (21.2) slot by slot until
the leg is free to move under its own weight.
While sliding the leg in and out, gradually tighten the threaded insert (21.2) until the clamp begins to grip.
If not aligned, back off the threaded insert (21.2) until a slot aligns with the hole for screw (21.1).
