General

The Vector 950 OE 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 re-
pairs 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 ac-
cumulated during storage or periods of disuse may be removed with a semi-stiff brush. Particular attention
should be paid to the wedge location faces of the wedge adaptor.
WARNING! Disconnect the head encoder cable before cleaning the head, to prevent
potential electric shock.
CAUTION! 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.
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 opportunity. Sand and
dirt act as an abrasive and should be removed using a semi-stiff brush or a vacuum cleaner.

Electronic unit battery replacement
