Servicing
General
The Quattro-SE pedestal is robustly made to high engineering standards and little attention is required to main-
tain serviceability save regular cleaning. Attention to the following points will ensure a long and useful service
life with minimum need for repair.
Routine maintenance
The Quattro-SE pedestal requires no routine maintenance other than regular cleaning.
During normal use, check the steering alignment, the effectiveness of the on-shot clamp and safety catches
and check for radial or side play in the moving column. The navigation data should also be checked, ensuring
that the pedestal remains calibrated to the floor target.
Once a year, check the relief valve activates between 14.48–14.82 bar (210–215 psi) by collapsing the column,
engaging the safety catches and observing the pressure gauge while pressurising the pedestal until the relief
valve activates.
Refer to the appropriate section in the Technical Manual if the steering is misaligned, the on-shot clamp is in-
effective, excessive radial or side play is apparent in the moving column, the pressure relief valve setting is
incorrect or any other defect is apparent.
Adjustments and repairs should be carried out only by a competent person.
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 opto sensors (Fig 5) column bearing strips (15) and to the wheels, which are accessible
for cleaning through the lifting apertures (13).
