ARRIHEAD
Service and Maintenance
For optimal performance it is essential that all
ARRIHEAD II guides are kept clean. It is therefore
important to occasionally check for possible dust
and dirt. Dust in combination with humid air creates
a coarse substance which can inhibit smooth oper-
ation.
The guides of the cradle are easily accessible and
can be cleaned with a non-fraying cloth.
Both the flat base of the ARRIHEAD II and the tripod/
dolly bade should also be cleaned occasionally. Use
no hard faced or coarse materials for cleaning.
Otherwise the ARRIHEAD II is maintenance free. It
requires neither oiling nor greasing.
For ARRIHEAD II service see an authorised ARRI
service center (see page 19).
The handwheels must be removed before
setting the ARRIHEAD II directly down on
any surface without a tripod base.
Remember to loosen all locks and set both
pan and tilt gears in neutral (N) before
transporting.
