he three major components —the stage, post and base— all connect through the post connectors. You
can easily gain access to your gimbal by removing the stage. Here’s how it works:
If you have a tilt stage, start with
the tilt set slightly upward, which
allows access to all screws.
Use a 7/64” Allen wrench to
loosen the clamp screw. This just
needs to be loose, not removed.
Use a the same Allen wrench to
remove the six screws from the
post connector.
Pull the stage STRAIGHT up off the
post. It may take a firm pull, but do
not twist or force anything.
If you need access to the gimbal, remove the six stage
connector screws and separate the connector from
the top of the post. Your gimbal is now free to slide
off for maintenance or to share with a friend!
NOTE: If you’ll be inspecting or cleaning your pan bearing, turn to page 32 for complete instructions.
