Maintenance
Cleaning
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Before carrying out any
cleaning of the O-Rig the camera must be removed.
During normal use the only cleaning required is a periodic wipe-down
with a lint-free cloth. Any dirt that accumulates during storage or
periods of non-use may be removed with a vacuum cleaner.
However, 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.
Storage
When not being used, it is recommended that the O-Rig is
disassembled and stored in the protective case.
Routine Maintenance
If the O-Rig is left assembled for a period of time, ensure all fixings are
secure before use.
