General
The SE-500 elevation unit is robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is required to
maintain serviceability save regular cleaning. Attention to the following 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 sliding faces on the telescopic column..
Routine checks
During normal use, check all electrical cable for fouling and wear.
Repair
In the unlikely event of mechanical or electrical problems in the SE-500 servo elevation unit, it is generally
recommended that the unit be returned to the factory if possible. However, if this is not possible, the
SE-500 Service Manual should be utilized to repair the unit in the field.
NOTE: Do NOT use oil or grease on any exposed part of the column. This is unnecessary and
traps dirt which acts as an abrasive.
Use only detergent-based cleaners. Do NOT use solvent- or oil-based cleaners,
abrasives or wire brushes to remove accumulations of dirt, as these damage the
protective surfaces.
WARNING!:Repairs should only be performed by qualified personnel, who are
familiar with the equipment.
