Changing the ARRIGLOW mask
The ground glass used for the optical viewfinder should be combined with a
matching glow mask. To change the glow mask:
 Loosen the 3mm allen screw next to the level bubble.
 Remove the level bubble element.
 Grab the glow mask with a Hirschmann clamp at the forceps hole and
pull it out of the glow mask frame.
 Check that both the new glow mask and the glow mask frame are
clean.
 Carefully push the new glow mask into the glow mask frame.
 Make sure the glow mask is inserted completely.
 Place the bubble element on top of the ARRIGLOW module and
tighten the 3mm allen screw.
 Turn on the ARRIGLOW and check that ground glass and glow mask
are correctly aligned.
