Rear Battery Housing 

The rear battery housing can be moved in and out by loosening the two 10-32 SHCS. There are safety 
stops on the ends so the housi

ng will not slide off the rails. Over 4” of travel, increases your panning 

inertia 

 
Trim  Knobs 

The LEH comes set up with trim knobs on one side, they can be transferred to the other side of the sled 
by loosening the set screw and spinning off the knobs. The left-right drive shaft must be removed and 
reassembled on the opposite side. See 

“Swapping the inching knobs” 

 
Programmable Digital Level Placement  
There are two 4-40 drilled and tapped holes on each side of the LEH. These holes are aligned with the 
XCS PDL housing. The screws should not protrude into the LEH housing any longer than .1875
