Mounting the head<br />
The <strong>Head</strong> has a st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>Vinten</strong> four-hole mounting plate with a Quickfix base. The <strong>Head</strong> can be mounted onto<br />
a pedestal, typically the Fusion FP-188 pedestal, or onto a <strong>Vinten</strong> Heavy-duty tripod.<br />
Place the <strong>Head</strong> onto the pedestal or tripod mounting plate <strong>and</strong>, ensuring that the <strong>Head</strong> will not fall, secure using<br />
the four fixing bolts <strong>and</strong> washers supplied. Use the supplied <strong>Vinten</strong> spanner to tighten the fixing bolts.<br />
Mounting the <strong>Head</strong> onto a Quickfix adaptor<br />
In situations where <strong>Head</strong>s are often interchanged on pedetsals <strong>and</strong> tripods, it is recommended that a <strong>Vinten</strong><br />
heavy-duty Quickfix adaptor (Part No. 3490-3) is used. The adaptor provides an easier <strong>and</strong> quicker method of<br />
mounting <strong>and</strong> removing <strong>Head</strong>s from a pedestal or tripod. Mount the adaptor onto the pedestal or tripod<br />
mounting plate <strong>and</strong> secure into position following the installation instructions in the Operators Guide supplied<br />
with the adaptor. The Quickfix adaptor has a safety latch mechanism that is used to secure the <strong>Head</strong> into<br />
position about the Quickfix base. (Figure 2).<br />
To mount the <strong>Head</strong> onto a Quickfix adaptor:<br />
1. Push up the red safety latch <strong>and</strong> unlock the adaptor by pulling the lever fully outwards <strong>and</strong> to the left.<br />
2. Position the <strong>Head</strong> in the adaptor, ensuring that it seats correctly in the recess <strong>and</strong> the safety button is<br />
depressed.<br />
3. Lock the <strong>Head</strong> in the adaptor by pushing the lever fully inwards to the right until the red safety latch<br />
operates.<br />
To dismount the <strong>Head</strong> from the Quickfix adaptor:<br />
1. Push up the red safety latch <strong>and</strong> unlock the adaptor by pulling the lever fully outwards <strong>and</strong> to the left.<br />
2. Whilst preventing the <strong>Head</strong> from suddenly falling away, safely remove the <strong>Head</strong> from the adaptor.<br />

CAUTION! Hold a fixing bolt in position through the mounting plate <strong>and</strong> ensure that the threaded end does<br />
not project more than 12 mm (15/32 in.) above the mounting plate face.<br />
CAUTION! Risk of damage to the product—do not overtighten the fixing bolts.<br />
