ARRI 416 Manuel D’Utilisation

When maintaining and cleaning the camera and 

accessories, pay careful attention to the following notes 

and tips:

•  Always disconnect the camera from the power supply.

•  Clean the camera and accessories only on a clean and 

flat surface which is covered with foam material or a 

clean, lint-free cloth.

•  Under no circumstances use acetone or nitro-thinner. 

These chemicals dissolve the paint and can damage 

highly-polished surfaces and plastic parts.

•  For cleaning, the use of soft, lint-free cloths and swabs 

is recommended. Also suitable are special cleaning 

tissues and small sponges as used in cleaning 

computers and video equipment.

•  When cleaning the film movement, do not exert too 

much pressure. Use only the prescribed special tools. 

Use only good quality screwdrivers of the correct size.

•  From time to time – at the very least after the 

occurrence of a film jam – it is recommended to clean 

the entire interior of the camera and also the magazine 

throat and the film gate with a brush. In most cases it is 

sufficient to vacuum out dust and film chips from the 

camera and the magazine interiors. A small battery-

powered vacuum cleaner, as used in cleaning 

computers, is suitable for this task.
