3 After unpacking ensure that:
3.1 The centre lock (11) is engaged (See “Locking the platform” on page 16). Always engage the
centre lock before lifting or carrying the head. Lift the head by the base and/or the carrying handle, not
the platform.
3.2 The pan and tilt brakes are on (See “Pan and tilt brakes” on page 17).
Mounting the head
Flat base
4 The head is mounted on a tripod, pedestal or suitable firm surface using the four fixing bolts and
washers. Tighten the bolts with the spanner provided.
5 After mounting the head, use the level bubble (5) to set it level. The level bubble may be illuminated by
pressing the switch (6). The light will go out after approximately 15 seconds.
Mitchell-type fixing
6 Remove the clamp knob and washer. Position the head on the tripod or pedestal, ensuring that the
spigot is seated and the key is engaged in the slot. Refit the clamp washer and knob and tighten securely.
7 After mounting the head, use the level bubble (5) to set it level. The level bubble may be illuminated by
pressing the switch (6). The light will go out after approximately 15 seconds.
Pan bars
8 Fit the pan bar(s) (18) to the head and adjust the position of each one before tightening the clamp on
the mounting (14). Adjust the length of the telescopic pan bar(s).
NOTE: When mounted on Vinten ‘Hawk’ or ‘Teal’ pedestals, clearance between the head and the
pedestal weight tray prevents the use of 5.5 lb (1.6 kg) and 1.0 lb (0.47 kg) trim weights.
Use alternative weights or fit the adaptor plate kit (Part No. 3354-900SP) between the head
and pedestal.
WARNING!: Before installing the head, hold a fixing bolt in position and check that the
threaded end does not project more than 12 mm (1/2 in.) above the mounting face.
