Always wear the proper safety glasses when performing any type of maintenance. Failure to wear safety glasses could result in injury and/or partial or complete loss of vision.
-
Always be careful when working with products that have sharp edges.

Inadequate lubrication or reuse of coupling parts or screws can cause the gimbal to fail or even separate the gimbal from the vehicle. A separate vehicle gimbal can cause an accident and even death. Don't take any chances with security.
