Unpacking
The head is supplied with one pan bar and a battery (fitted) for the level bubble illumination unit.
A second telescopic pan bar or short pan bar for use with a zoom or focus controller are optional.
Ensure that all items are unpacked prior to disposal of the packing materials.
After unpacking ensure that:
The pan and tilt brakes (4), (5) are on (see Pan and tilt brakes).
The centre lock (16) is engaged (see Locking the platform). Always engage the centre
lock before lifting or carrying the head.
Mounting the head
The head is mounted on a tripod, pedestal or suitable firm surface using the four fixing bolts and
washers. The four bolt fixing holes (19) on the underside of the head are easily located using the
bolt hole position indicators (20). Tighten the bolts with the spanner provided.
After mounting the head, ensure it is level using the level bubble (8), which may be may be illumi-
nated by pressing the switch (7). The light will go out after approximately 15-seconds.
Pan bars
Fit the pan bars to the head and adjust the position of each one before tightening the clamp (10)
on the mounting (18). Adjust the length of the telescopic pan bars.
CAUTION! Do NOT Lift the head by the platform. Only use the base and/or the carrying
handle to prevent damaging the head.
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! 1. Only mount this product on equipment designed to support a
minimum of 95 kg (109 lbs.).
2. Before installing the head, hold a fixing bolt in position and
check that the threaded end does not project more than 20 mm
(3/4 in.) above the mounting face.
