Installing the Zoom Clamp & Gear Sleeve On the Type 1Lenses Installing the Zoom Clamp
The Zoom Clamp has springs so it can be expanded to fit over the Zoom ring of the lens as shown in (Fig. C). Install the Zoom Clamp with the extension tabs toward the rear element of the lens. After installing the Zoom Clamp, check that when rotating the Zoom Clamp it rotates the Zoom ring on the lens. If the Zoom Clamp is not tight enough to rotate the Zoom ring on the lens, remove the Zoom Clamp and install the rubber strips (supplied) to the inside of the Zoom Clamp as shown (Fig. F). Two thicknesses of rubber strips are provided. Start by installing the thinnest rubber strips, if the Zoom Clamp still is not tight enough use the thicker rubber strips. Reinstall the Zoom Clamp.

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.
Install the Gear Sleeve
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 freely, remove any rubber strips on the inside of the Zoom Clamp, if no rubber strips are installed then try using the Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve for Type 2 lenses in the #5509.28package. 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 installing the port, rotate the housings Zoom Control Knob to see that the Gear Sleeve is properly rotating the lenses Zoom ring.

ribs of the Gear Sleeve should slide freely in the grooves of the Zoom Clamp. If the Gear Sleeve does not slide freely, remove any rubber strips on the inside of the Zoom Clamp (Fig. H) or use thinner rubber strips. Reinstall the Zoom Clamp on the lens and lower the lens through the Gear Sleeve, aligning the grooves in the Zoom Clamp with the ribs on the Gear Sleeve. Remount the lens to the camera body, make sure the lens is locked into the camera body. Position the Gear Sleeve teeth so they mesh with the housing drive gear (Fig. J). When the port is installed it will lock the Gear Sleeve in place. After installing the port, rotate the housing Zoom Control Knob to see that the Gear Sleeve is properly rotating the lenses Zoom ring.
