C.  Mechanical maintenance 
 

1.  Adjusting the tension of the focus. 

 

Tension comes pre-adjusted by the factory. The best point of tension is that which permits 
the focus knobs to move as loosely as possible, without the head sliding down with its own 
weight.   
The tension adjustment collar for focussing (Fig.1) is situated between the focussing knob 
(18) and the head holder (17). 

 

a.  Loosen the screw located in the collar hole with the 2mm hexagonal key. 

 

b.  To  increase  the  tension,  turn  the  collar  anti-clockwise;  to  decrease  it,  turn  the  collar 

clockwise.   

 

c.  Re-tighten the hexagonal key.
