necessary to change this pre-setting - e.g. you may wish
to disengage some springs in order to suit an ENG
camera. If you disengage all 4 springs, position "1" of
the counterbalance knob will spin free and you would
compensate by the strength of the right lever only (half a
spring).
All this is possible through a fairly simple procedure:
Á
apply the tilt safety lock
Á
open the lock of the balance plate by pushing the
red lever underneath the balance plate as far as
possible.
Á
keep on turning the knob of the spindle to the left
until the balance plate is in the very rearmost positi-
on
You will see 4 tiny holes in the base plate above the 4
counterbalance fixing points (only from serial no. 60300
upwards)
Á
you may now screw in (increasing of counterbalan-
ce strength) or screw out (decreasing of counterba-
lance strength) the hexagonal screws. For this you
should use an allen key #2.
Caution: the screws always remain inside the head. A
counterbalance spring is dis-engaged if the screw's head is
flush with the surface of the housing, i.e. it should not stick
out. The spring is engaged if you can't see the silver head of
the screw anymore because the screw is screwed in.
Á
bring back the balance plate into its normal positi-
on.
Á
apply the lock of the balance plate
Á
open the tilt safety lock.
