RECEIVING & INSTALLATION
THE PRO-35 PROJECTOR is shipped in a sturdy wooden crate to minimize the possibility of
damage in shipment. Remove first the top of the crate (as marked). Identify the operators side of the projector
and remove that side of the crate. The projector is secured to the crate with (2) 3/8-16 screws threaded into the
projector base casting, and (2) 3/8-16 bolts with hex nuts. Remove all (4) of these fasteners. Inspect the
projector and report any damage to the freight carrier immediately. It is the responsibility of the consignee, not
the shipper, to initiate damage claims.
IF INSTALLING a Pro-35 to a VIP Base, the Model VII soundhead is factory-mounted to the
base; otherwise, the soundhead must be mounted to a pedestal or projection console. Three holes, on the top
surface of the Model VII main frame casting are tapped 3/8-16 and align with (3) clearance holes in the bottom
casting of the Pro-35. Mount the projector to the soundhead and secure using the (3) 3/8-16 socket head screws
provided. The locations of these clearance holes are held to a close tolerance, and no further projector-to-
soundhead alignment is required.
INSTALL THE INTERMITTENT
FLYWHEEL and pulley assembly to the intermittent cam-
shaft as illustrated. Observe the assembly sequence of
the components.
Do not add oil to the projector until
first installing and securing the intermittent flywheel.
INSERT THE PLASTIC FUNNEL into
the oil fill cup on the top of the projector and add Ballantyne
Projector Oil until the oil level reaches the ring on the oil
fill hose. While adding the oil, periodically rotate the in-
termittent flywheel to turn the mechanism and eliminate
air locks. DO NOT OVERFILL.
AN ALTERNATE METHOD of adding
the projector oil is to remove the breather tube from the
top of the projector and prop open the oil fill cup. Insert
the funnel into the breather tube opening and add the oil,
while periodically rotating the intermittent flywheel as
above. After filling, replace the breather tube and reset
the lid of the oil cup.
INSTALL THE DRIVE BELT between the motor pulley and the intermittnet flywheel pulley.
The standard 115 V.AC induction motor is mounted to the base casting of the projector in a pivoting support
cradle. Apply belt tension by tightening the front-mounted socket head screw connected to the motor cradle
until belt tension is adequate.
THE SYNCHRONOUS DRIVE MOTOR mounts to the top casting of the projector. Run the
drive belt from the motor pulley to the intermittent flywheel pulley and apply belt tension by tighening the idler
roller mounted to the inside of the top casting against the drive belt.
