Servicing
General
The Vector 450 pan and tilt head is robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention
is required to maintain serviceability save regular cleaning.
Refer to the appropriate section in the Maintenance Manual if any defect is apparent. Adjustments
and repairs should be carried out only by a competent person.
Routine maintenance
Replace the electronic unit battery whenever the low battery indicator flashes.
During use, check the following:
Check the effectiveness of the pan and tilt brakes. Reset as necessary.
Check the effectiveness of the slide plate clamp. Reset as necessary.
Check the operation of the balance mechanism digital display and the illumination of the
LCD, level bubble and drag knobs. Replace battery if necessary.
No further routine maintenance is required.
Cleaning
During normal use the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth.
Dirt accumulated during storage or periods of disuse may be removed with a semi-stiff brush. Par-
ticular attention should be paid to the wedge location faces of the wedge adaptor.
Use out-of-doors under adverse conditions may require special attention and the head should be
covered when not in use. Salt spray should be washed off using fresh water at the earliest oppor-
tunity. Sand and dirt act as an abrasive and should be removed using a semi-stiff brush or a vac-
uum cleaner.
NOTE: Use only detergent-based cleaners. DO NOT use solvent- or oil-based cleaners,
abrasives or wire brushes to remove accumulations of dirt as these damage
the protective surfaces
