• In order to ensure optimal performance, it is essential that you acquaint yourself with this Quick Guide

and that you follow the operating instructions described herein. We strongly recommend that you also

• Assembly and initial operation should only be carried out after carefully reading the instructions and

familiarizing yourself with the equipment and the assembly procedures!

• Use only original ARRI accessories and replacement parts!
