After the Zoom Clamp is installed, lower the appropriate Gear Sleeve over the Zoom Clamp aligning the Gear Sleeve ribs with the grooves in the Zoom Clamps extended tabs as shown (Fig.D & E). Note that the ribs of the Gear Sleeve should slide freely in the grooves of the Zoom Clamp. If the Gear Sleeve does not slide

Installing the Zoom Clamp & Gear Sleeve On Type 2 Lenses Due to the larger diameter of lens opening on Type 2 lenses, the Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve need to be installed from the rear (bayonet end) of the lens. Use the housings Lens Release Control and remove the camera lens from the camera body.

freely, remove any rubber stripson the inside of the Zoom Clamp, if no rubber strips are installed then try using the Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve for Type 2 lensesin the #5509.28 package. Lower the Gear Sleeve into the port opening of the housing so the teeth on the Gear Sleeve mesh with the teeth on the housing Drive Gear (Fig. G). When the port is installed it will lock the Gear Sleeve in place. After installingthe port, rotate the housings Zoom Control Knob to see that the Gear Sleeve is properly rotating the lenses Zoom ring.

To prepare the port for installation, remove the port o’ring and lightly lubricate it. The port seal is a side-to-side seal and requires the o’ring to be lightly lubricated for easy installation. Put a small amount of lubricant on your fingers and draw the o’ring through your fingers to lightly lubricate it. Do not stretch the o’ring. Check that the lip of the port where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface on the housing are clean. Place the port, with o’ring into the housing’s port opening. Press down on the port firmly and evenly until you feel the port slide into place. Continue to push down on the port and push each port lock forward until it clicks into place. It may help to slightly rotate the port as you push in on the port lock. When the port lock clicks into place the Release Button will drop down against the port lock.

Check around the perimeter of the port seal to see that the o’ring is properly sealed and not extruded.
