Servicing
General
The Fusion FBH-175 height drive is robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is required
to maintain serviceability save regular cleaning. Refer to the relevant section of the Technical Manual if any
defect is apparent. Adjustments and repairs should be carried out by a competent person. Attention to the fol-
lowing points will ensure a long and useful service life with minimum need for repair.
Cleaning
During normal studio use, the only cleaning required should be a regular wipe over with a lint-free cloth. Dirt
accumulated during storage or periods of disuse may be removed with a semi-stiff brush. Particular attention
should be paid to the various connection ports (7), (8), (10), (11) and (12).
Routine checks
During use, check the following daily:
Check the condition of the height-extension cable (2), especially where it connects to the upper bracket
(1). If required, replace the height-extension cable in accordance with the appropriate section in the
Maintenance Manual.
Check that the height-extension cable (2) does not rub on the slot as it enters the height drive unit. Re-
position the height drive on the pedestal in accordance with the instructions of the relevant Height Drive
Mounting Kit (please refer to Parts List on page 21).
Check the balance of the pedestal. Re-balance as necessary.
Check the data communication with the control panel. Re-fit cables if necessary.
Check the minimum height setting/height-extension cable length (3). Re-adjust if necessary.
Routine maintenance
At three-yearly intervals, the height-extension cable should be replaced.
This procedure should be carried out by a competent person in accordance with the appropriate section in the
Maintenance Manual.
CAUTION! 1. Do NOT use oil or grease on the height-extension cable (2). This is unnecessary and
traps dirt which acts as an abrasive.
2. DO NOT use solvent or oil-based cleaners, abrasives or wire brushes to remove
accumulations of dirt as these damage the protective surfaces. To clean mechanical
surfaces, use only detergent-based cleaners.
3. External electrical connection ports should only be cleaned with a semi-stiff brush or
a clean, dry air supply.
