#12 ñ MAINTENANCE
Bearing Maintenance: The Main Bearing on your Glidecam 2000 Pro is attached to the CENTRAL
POST about two inches down from the top. It is metal and is partially enclosed by the Bearing Assembly.
If after some period of time your bearing doesn’t turn smoothly, you can oil it lightly with light lubricating
oil. We recommend that you use very little oil. Very little, because this is all that is needed, plus
anything more than a little will end up coming out of the bearing and onto the rest of your Glidecam
2000 Pro. Light lubricating oil can also be used if needed on the Yoke and Handle Bearings. Be sure
to keep the oil away from your Camera, and clean up any over spill when done.
Cleaning: Do not use solvents or harsh cleaners of any kind on your Glidecam 2000 Pro. If the unit
becomes dirty, use only a cloth or sponge with water and a very mild detergent to gently rub the unit
clean.
Storage: If you are going to store your Glidecam 2000 Pro for a long period of time then please store
the unit upright in a dry or low to normal humidity area whenever possible. If you are unable to find an
environment like this, then we suggest you store the unit in an air tight plastic container or bag. Standing
the unit upright helps to alleviate stress on the system.
#13 ñ WARNINGS
You should make sure that you are very careful when using the Glidecam 2000 Pro at night or in low
light conditions. Do not make the mistake of focusing so much on what you are shooting that you trip
or fall over something, or wander into something dangerous like a swimming pool or automobile
traffic, and be extra careful when shooting on stairs or uneven terrain etc. These cautions pertain to
daytime shooting as well. Make sure that all children using this product have adult supervision. If you
plan on shooting while moving fast, or while moving on uneven terrain, then be sure to wear knee and
elbow pads, eye protection and a helmut.
