Locking The Tilt Cradle

The tilt locking pin is provided to mechanically lock the tilt cradle in the hori-
zontal position. The tilt locking pin is clipped to the side of the tilt cradle when
not in use as shown below.

WARNING: Any time that you are working on the camera,
lens, teleprompter, particularly if you are adding or removing
equipment, use the tilt locking pin to lock the tilt cradle in the
horizontal position. This will prevent an unbalanced load

from shifting unexpectedly.

WARNING: ALWAYS turn the head power switch OFF
before installing the tilt locking pin. Operating the head with
the pin installed will cause serious damage.

With the tilt cradle approximately horizontal, insert the locking pin through the
access hole in the cover (see opposite) and push it all the way through into the
tilt cradle. You may need to rock the tilt cradle back and forth slightly to fully
seat the locking pin. Always return the locking pin to the tilt cradle clips after
use.
