6.0 MAINTENANCE

Inspect the pan/tilt unit ever y six months to ensure trouble-free operation and an

extended product life. Harsh environments and/or continuous motion applications

may require more frequent maintenance.

To begin, remove the three screws on the front of the pan/tilt housing and lift the

cover to gain access to the pan and tilt motor assemblies.

Check the pan and tilt drive chains f or tension. A mov ement of 1/32 of an inch to 3/32

of an inch in the chains is acceptable. If the mov ement of a chain e xceeds 3/32 of an

inch, adjust the chain as follows:

1. Loosen the screws securing the motor to the mounting frame.

2. Pr y on the motor to apply tension to the chain. Do not over-tension the dr ive

chain.

3. Keep tension on the chain while tightening the screws.

Sprockets, chains, and gears should be well greased. If necessary, lubricate the

pan and tilt gears, sprockets, and chains as follows with a high-quality grease ca-

pable of withstanding temperatures from -50° to 170°F (-46° to 77°C). Do the fol-

lowing:

1. Liberally apply grease to the pan and tilt gears , chains , and sprockets.

2. Operate the pan and tilt motors to spread the grease across the parts.

3. Apply additional grease if necessary.
