Avenger B7018 Manual De Instrucciones página 9

Check that there are no obstacles in the transport that can block or make the stand tip over.
Use the handle E1 to move the stand.
7.3 After long periods of storage we recommend a thorough cleaning of the stand, see instruction
"Maintenance".
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE TIPS
Regularly remove dirt and debris from the locking screws and sliding parts.
Do not use metallic or sharp tools during cleaning operations.
Regularly check the state of the stand and of the crankcases by moving the columns without load.
8.1 OPERATING IN A SANDY LOCATION (BEACHES, DESERT, ETC.)
Remove lubricating grease from joints, threads and bearings to prevent sand mixing with the grease
adversely affecting the operation of the stand (fig. 15).
8.2 MUDDY AND SALTY LOCATION
Before the stand is used in a muddy or salty environment, all joints, threads, moving parts of the
stand should be greased. After working in this environment, the stand must be thoroughly cleaned.
8.3 OPERATING IN COLD AND DAMP LOCATIONS
Make sure all joints threads and bearings are greased. If the stand is to be operated for a long period
at below freezing temperatures, take care to ensure the safety lever "L" (fig. 15) is fully operative (as
per 5.2 and 5.3). To check this, crank the stand up a few centimetres and press down the safety lever;
repeat this action a few times to ensure it functions correctly.
If the columns or the mechanism are iced up, try to de-ice but do not expose to direct flame or use a
de-icing fluid (joints and bearings could be affected by this).
8.4 WHEELS , , ,
While using the stand, especially of the stand, especially outdoors, the base is the most exposed part
to be potentially damaged so particular attention must be paid to periodic and scheduled maintenance.
8.41 Hard rubber wheels (fig. 17) are supplied as standard and are recommended for studio environment.
They are fitted with a brake "F" which locks both the travel and swivel movements. A periodic check
of wheel bearings and swivel joints must be undertaken. Wheel fixing hole "O ".
8.42 To replace or fit wheels simply loosen clamping screw "M" (fig. 19) sufficiently to allow the wheel
to fit or come out freely. Do not over tighten when wheel is in place. Replace or fit wheels with column
down and without load.
8.43 This wheel carrier allows rolling the stand even when the stand legs are closed.
A hole for the fastening of the wheels "O" (fig. 17) and another one for the use of a levelling jack "N"
(fig. 18) are provided. The carrier should be cleaned and re-greased after being used in sandy or
muddy locations.
Gears must be greased and cleaned carefully whenever the stand is used in sandy or muddy areas.
8.5 - REMOVING A COLUMN FROM THE STAND
The columns of the stand are designed to withstand the normal rigours of location work.

In the event of damage, columns can easily be replaced.
It is also simple to modify the maximum and minimum height of the stand by adding or removing columns.
8.51 Removing a column riser.
Make sure that the stand is not loaded, that the columns are completely retracted and the wheels
locked (fig. 21).
- Loosen screw "S" (fig. 23) on the collar of the column.
- Pull the column "T1" (fig. 21) and its collar out and whilst doing this make sure the three Teflon guides
"U" (fig. 21) are not left inside the column "T2" (fig. 21).
- Place wire attachment plate "Z" (fig. 24) mounting the top bushing "V" and secure it with the three
screws "W".
8.52 Adding a column riser.
Make sure that the stand is not loaded, that the columns are all completely retracted and the wheels locked.
- Remove the screws "W" (fig. 22) holding the eyelets "Z" and take the spotlight socket "V" out from
the top riser.
- Remove the tape on the Teflon guides at the base of the column extension.
- Insert the column collar over the stand top column and then insert the extension column into the
collar making sure the Teflon guides "U" (fig. 21) do not fall out.
- Make sure the collar is resting fully on the lower column, use a plastic tip hammer if necessary but
make sure the Teflon ring "α" (fig. 23) on the inside of the collar is not displaced.
- Tighten screw "S" (fig. 23). Mount the crank case on the collar (as explained in "Fitting the crank case").
8.53 Troubleshooting
- Check the extension column functions without a load. If the column does not function properly,
check the following.
- The Teflon guides "U" on the column have not been inserted correctly causing the column to jam.
- The Teflon ring "α" on the inside of the collar has been displaced preventing the column being cranked.
- If the column moves in an irregular fashion when cranked down (without a luminaire), the collar
needs to be realigned and/or readjusted.
8.6 CRANKCASE
The design of the crank case is to provide maximum safety and functionality. The crank case should
require no maintenance but in the event of malfunction, it should be removed and returned to the
nearest dealer. If the malfunction is caused by damage to the outer case this will invalidate the warranty.
8.7 REMOVING THE CRANK CASE
Before removing a crankcase make sure all columns are fully retracted (fig. 24) and that the wheels
are locked.In addition, the stand must not be loaded.
Loosen (do not remove) the three screws "Y" (fig. 25) on the side of the case and remove the crankcase
from its support (fig. 26).
8.8 FITTING THE CRANK CASE ,
Make sure all columns are retracted and the stand is not loaded.
- Loosen the three screws "Y" (fig. 25) on the side of the crankcase. Place the case on the "dovetail"
support (fig. 28), widening it a little as shown in (fig. 27) and swing it in "from X1 to X2" (fig. 28).
Whilst doing so ensure the gear teeth "X3" (fig. 28) fit into the holes in the column (fig. 29).
- When the crankcase is correctly seated the three screws "Y" (fig. 30) must be tightened.
Check that the crankcase functions correctly without a load.
