removing the motor, pull the motor 
knob (fig. 13 no. 25) away from the 
camera and turn it to the left at the 
same time, after inserting the filled 
cassette (Fig. 8 nr.26). 

The AK 16 
(30) cassettes (31) are fitted with a 
gear box (35), the high-performance 
motor with gearbox (27), the spring 
mechanism (28), the single image 
switch (29) , 3 filters (32), the drive 
cable (33) and 2 additional lenses 
(34). The suitcase is covered with 
black artificial leather and has a red 
effect on the inside 

Maintenance and care suggestions 
The camera, engine and cassette 
oiling is required by the manufacturer 
or the authorized repair shops after 
50 operating hours. The camera drive 
is provided with non-resinous, low-
viscosity, cold-resistant oil. For this, a 
few drops are sufficient. 
 
The optics of the search beam, the 
mirror and the lenses in the turret 
must be checked for cleanliness 
before each shot. When cleaning the 
dust, gently clean the glasses with a 
soft hairbrush. 

The film channel in the cassette must 
be cleaned of the film dust deposits 
after each shot. Likewise, the image 
slider in the camera must be cleaned 
with a soft cloth or brush after each 
run. Due to its construction, further 
maintenance of the camera is not 
necessary. 

Accumulator (battery) 
Is particularly important to disconnect 
the plug from the mains before 
starting up and recharge the battery 
with pure battery acid-specific weight 
1.28 = 32degree Beaums to approx. 
0.5cm over the mark Saurestand 
max. In this condition, leave the 
battery to stand for about 3 hours, 
then replenish the plates after the 
suction cup (if the water level drops). 
Then connect the battery to the DC 
source, connect the positive pole of 
the line to the positive pole of the
