Vinten products are robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is required
to maintain serviceability save regular cleaning. Attention to the following points will ensure a
long and useful service life with minimum need for repair.

During indoor use, the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth.
Dirt accumulated during storage may be removed using a semi-stiff brush. Particular attention
should be paid to the ball mounting face of the head, the space between the tilting assembly and
the base and the mounting bowl of the tripod.
Use out-of-doors under adverse conditions will require special attention. Salt spray should be
washed off with fresh water at the earliest opportunity. Sand and dirt acts as an abrasive and
should be removed using a semi-stiff brush or vacuum cleaner.

The battery illuminates the level bubble (14) when the push button (11) is pressed. The battery
should be replaced yearly or whenever the illumination is considered inadequate.
To replace the battery:
Tilt the head forwards to allow access to the battery compartment (10) and apply the tilt
brake (3).
Using a thin-bladed screwdriver or similar tool, prise off the battery cover (10.1).
CAUTION!
DO NOT use solvent or oil-based cleaners, abrasives or wire brushes to
remove accumulations of dirt, as these damage the protective surfaces.
Use only detergent-based cleaners.
Warning!
If a payload is not fitted to the head, turn the Perfect Balance knob (10) fully
counter-clockwise to reduce the balancing force before tilting the head
forwards.
