Opticron XFS-C Installation Manual

XFS-C Tripods & Optional Panheads

User Guide & Guarantee

Instructions

Make sure all locks and clips are secured before and during use. Do not
leave tripods unattended on uneven surfaces, in high winds or in public
places where others might injure themselves. Whenever possible remove
equipment from the support during transportation.

Care & Cleaning

Always dry the equipment thoroughly after use in damp or wet
conditions. Avoid contact with salt water. To clean the equipment,
remove excess dirt and dust from moving parts (threads and sliding
sections) using compressed air or a blower brush. Wash with a mild
detergent and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Whenever possible
store in a stable dry atmosphere away from moisture. Do not attempt to
dismantle the equipment as this will invalidate the guarantee.
