Servicing
General
The 120EX pan and tilt head is robustly made to high engineering standards and
little attention is required to maintain serviceability except for regular cleaning.
For service beyond the maintenance items described below, contact the
OConnor headquarters or your local O'Connor representative. Contact
information is provided at the end of this document.
Routine Maintenance
Replace the electronic unit battery whenever the low battery indicator flashes.
During normal use, check the following:
Check the effectiveness of the pan and tilt locks. Reset as necessary – see
below.
Check the operation of the balance mechanism digital display and the
illumination of the bubble level. Replace the battery if necessary – see below.
No other routine maintenance is required.
Cleaning
During normal operation the only cleaning required is a periodic wipe down with
a lint-free cloth. Any dirt that accumulates during storage or periods of non-use
may be removed with a semi-stiff brush. Particular attention should be paid to
the dovetail faces of the camera mounting area.
NOTE: Use only detergent-based cleaners. DO NOT use solvent-based or oil-
based cleaners, abrasives or wire brushes to remove accumulations of dirt as
these will 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.
