Hasselblad 500C/M - Service, Maintenance, and Warranty; Recommended Service and Maintenance; Product Warranty Information

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
Cameras and lenses subjected to heavy-duty professional use
should be serviced regularly at an authorized Hasselblad
service center. We recommend regular checkups to ensure
maximum operating reliability.
Lubricants can dry up in cameras put aside for any length of
time, e.g. six months or more. The high-precision mechanism
in a leaf shutter, for example, could then malfunction. So a
stored camera should be taken out from time to time and
operated at each shutter speed a few times.
It is especially important to “loosen up” the shutter before
working with the camera for the first time after a long period
of disuse. First operate the camera without a magazine
attached. Look through the camera body and lens to ensure
that all the shutter speeds are working.
