Adjustments

To enable the payload to be correctly balanced, the wedge adaptor may require repositioning.
The following adjustments may be necessary after prolonged use:
The platform slide clamp may require adjustment.
The pan and tilt brakes may require adjustment.
The pan and tilt drag controls may require adjustment.

Repositioning the wedge adaptor

(Fig 1)
The wedge adaptor (14) is secured by four cap head screws (15) which pass through the wedge adaptor
into the sliding plate (13). The wedge adaptor may be fitted in three positions.
WARNING!
To reposition the wedge adaptor:
Engage the centre lock (see Locking the platform on page 13) and remove the payload.
Hold the body of the wedge adaptor (14) and use a 4 mm hexagon wrench to remove four securing
screws (15).
Reposition the wedge adaptor (14) on the sliding plate (13), ensuring that the narrow end of the
wedge adaptor faces forwards
Insert the four screws (15) in the holes in the wedge adaptor and tighten.

Platform slide clamp adjustment

(Fig 5)
The platform slide clamp should be set so that, in the up or clamped position it prevents the platform slide
from being moved, while in the down or released position it allows free adjustment of the slide. To adjust
the clamp, proceed as follows:
Pull the slide clamp lever (14) fully upwards.
Slacken the clamp screw (14.2).
Turn the slotted shaft (14.1) fully clockwise to apply the clamp.
Tighten the clamp screw (14.2).
Move the lever over its full range and ensure that, in the clamped position, it prevents the slide from
being moved, while in the released position it allows free adjustment of the slide. Re-adjust if nec-
essary.

Brake and drag control knob adjustment

The pan and tilt brake and drag controls may require adjustment after prolonged use. These adjustments
should be carried out by competent persons as detailed in the Maintenance Manual. The Maintenance
Manual may be obtained from Vinten or your local Vinten distributor or from our website at www.vint-
