Assembling the friction wheel/drive gear

CAUTION! Before you use the friction wheel, make sure that it is compatible with
the camera lens in operation. This can be checked by attaching the
friction wheel and carefully rotating the Ace Follow Focus handweel. If
the friction wheel does not move freely when engaged, damage to the
equipment can occur.
If the friction wheel is not deemed compatible, attach a gear ring to the
camera lens and use the drive gear.
The Ace Follow Focus comes supplied with a Ø35 mm friction wheel and a 50 tooth drive gear.
The friction wheel/drive gear is secured to either the front or the rear of the double-sided drive.
To assemble the friction wheel or drive gear (see Fig. 4):
Select either the friction wheel or the drive gear for the lens in use.
Ensure that the key-way on the friction wheel/drive gear aligns with the key-way on the
double-sided drive shaft and push into place [A].
Rotate the knurled screw on the friction wheel or drive gear in a clockwise direction to
secure to the double-sided drive [B].
