Maintenance Instructions
Cleaning Instructions
Make sure that the system cable is disconnected
from the CCU prior to cleaning to reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
NOTE! Never use solvents to clean any part of the
system.
Use a soft nylon brush, mild detergent and rags and
sponges to clean camera, spring assembly and cables.
When cleaning the camera, do not use scraping tools as
they may permanently scratch these areas. NEVER USE
SOLVENTS to clean any part of the system, as they can
cause cracking of the LED ring, which could affect wa-
terproofing.
Stretch the spring and stir in warm water to flush grime
from the spring assembly.
To thoroughly clear the reel and drum, stand the reel
upright and fill the bottom of the drum with lukewarm
water and a mild detergent. Spin the drum to loosen the
grime. Remove the water, pull out the cable and run a rag
over the cable as you feed it back into the drum.
Never fill the drum while the unit is tipped on its
back. Water can enter the hub and damage the slip
rings.

ring to remove scratches, as it is part of the watertight
housing.
Spring Assembly
The spring assembly is the area where foreign matter is
most likely to accumulate. Within the spring is the splice
between the pushrod and a connector. Should sharp ob-
jects or harsh chemicals be allowed to remain in this area
for long periods, they may wear on these components.
Stretch the spring end-to-end as far as the internal
safety cables allow to check this area.
Removing Camera Head
Before removing the camera head for the first time,
be sure to read the following instructions. Bending or
twisting the camera head connectors will lead to pre-
mature failure and is not covered by warranty. Do not
bend or twist connectors! Twist only the locking sleeves.
If you need additional assistance, please call Ridge
Tool Technical Service (800-519-3456) before pro-
ceeding.
The system has been designed so that the camera
head can be removed for troubleshooting. To remove the
camera head, the following procedure must be followed:
1. Pay out enough cable to place the camera and spring
assembly on a work bench or other convenient work
area. Set the brake to prevent the reel from spin-
ning.
2. Locate the spring wrench that was provided with the
system and engage the cut end of the spring (di-
rectly behind the camera head) with the wrench. The
hand that is holding the wrench should remain still
while turning the camera off the spring with the other
hand.
