Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
The Osprey Lite requires minimal routine maintenance, apart from
checking the connections and overall operation periodically.
Check the following points during normal use:
• Check for ageing and cracking of the rubber securing straps and
renew if necessary.
• Check the effectiveness of the clamps.
• Check the skid tracking
• Check for radial or side play in the top stage.
Adjustments
Adjustments which may become necessary after considerable use
are as follows:
• Taking up wear in the bottom clamp.
• Taking up wear in the top clamp and the skid clamp.
• Skid wheel alignment
• Elimination of radial and side play on the top stage.
Servicing
General
The Osprey pedestal is robustly made to high engineering standards
and little attention is required to maintain serviceability except for
regular cleaning. Attention to the following points will ensure a long
and useful service life with minimum need for repair.
Cleaning
During normal studio use, the only cleaning required should be
a regular wipe over with a lint free cloth. Dirt accumulated during
storage or periods of disuse may be removed with a semi stiff brush.
Particular attention should be paid to the flats on the top stage of the
column.
!
CAUTION! Do NOT use oil or grease on any exposed part
of the column. This is unnecessary and traps dirt which
acts as an abrasive.
Use out-of-doors will require special attention, especially in adverse
conditions. Salt spray must be washed off with fresh water at the
earliest opportunity. Do not allow water to enter the column.
Sand and dirt acts as an abrasive and should be removed with a
semi-stiff brush or vacuum cleaner.
NOTE: Use only detergent-based cleaners. Do NOT use
solvent- or oil-based cleaners, abrasives or wire brushes
to remove accumulations of dirt, as these damage the
protective surfaces.
