Oset
The S-Type Scissors-Arm has a max. payload of 80 kg / 176 lbs. The more you put load into oset
the more decrease of your max. payload you have. Overloading the Scissors-Arm is prohibited.
Check the load table below for detailed max. payload:
BASIC KNOWLEDGE
Electro-Mechanical Dolly
The Panther S-Type Dolly is a completely
electro-mechanical dolly. That means there
is no dripping oil, no pumping up etc. Do not
operate underwater or in very wet / humid
environments.
Only one integrated tool
We designed the S-Type Dolly to be used
almost tool-free in order to ensure a fast
and easy operating. If there is a tool needed
it is always the same: only one Allen Key (8)
which has its parking position directly on top
of the dolly. This gives you, the operator, the
possibility to work fast and easy, without
losing time for searching the right tool.
In fact: whenever you need a tool, it is the
one that you can see on the right picture.
Even by laying the dolly sideways, there is
nothing to worry about. The S-type has been
designed to be as flexible as possible to make
your work on set great!

PREPARING
SEAT & SEATARM
Seat & Seatarm
The seat arm can be mounted in 8 dierent
positions. Please check the picture on the
right.
Of course, you can also take a second seat arm
and use two at the same time.
Top View
Mounting the seat arm is done by easy plug
& play. Just plug it into the desired position.
You may have to fasten
the Seat Arm to prevent
unintentionally wiggling by
using the integrated Allen
Key and tighten the screws
on the side of the dolly
(depending on where you
positioned the Seat Arm).
Now you can mount the Eccentric Panther
Seat right into the seat arm.
PREPARING
SEAT & SEATARM
Height Adjustment
The height of the seat arm can be adjusted
tool free. Pull the black knob on the seat arm
tube and adjust the height. Push back the
black button to fix the position.
If you want to be very low, you can remove the seat arm tube by unlocking it with the blue lever
and removing the tube.
Now plug back the seat arm (without the
outer tube). Even now you can still readjust
the height of the arm.
Don‘t use the seat arm without the blocker
(with the black knob & blue lever). Otherwise
you would damage the dolly wheels.

PREPARING
POWER SUPPLY
Dolly Batteries
The S-Type Dolly is a fully electro-mechanical
dolly. You need 2 batteries to operate the
S-Type. Each pair of batteries lasts for one
shooting day. We recommend you to reload it
after every shooting day, even if they are still
not empty.
Charging via 230V Charger
To charge a single battery we oer 230V Charger (155559). Plug in one end into a wall socket
and the other end into the battery‘s cable connection slot. The Charger should now begin to
blink. If you battery if fully charged, the blinking light should change into a continuously light.
Charging via Charging Station
To charge 2 batteries simultaneously we
oer a Charging Station (313 165). Plug in
one end into a wall socket and insert both
batteries.
Now turn on both switsches. The LEDs
will show you, when the batteries are fully
charged.
PREPARING
POWER SUPPLY
Charging Station as Power Source
The Charging Station has one additional
feature: you can use it to power the S-Type
Dolly directly via cable connection. You find
the connection socket at the frontpanel of
the dolly.
Open the protection cover of the connection
socket and plug in the Power Cable (313 426).
Plug in the other end of the cable right into
the Charging Station.
Now you can turn on the Charging Station
and operate the dolly. Make sure that both
batteries are inserted in the Dolly.
Batteries must be plugged in!
The Charging Station only works, if you have plugged in the batteries into
the dolly. While operation via cable, the batteries are charged. Do not insert
(charge) batteries into the Charging Station while charging the batteries from
Dolly.

PREPARING
POWER SUPPLY
Charging the Bluetooth Handset
The Bluetooth Handset can be chargen in two
dierent ways: regularly via mains power or
by cable connection to the dolly.
Regular Charging
To charge the Bluetooth Handset you can use
the standard charging cable (310848) and
plug it into a wall socket.
The Display will show „charge“.
Charging via Dolly connection
Despite charging the Bluetooth Handset on the wall socket you can connect it directly to your
dolly. Everytime you have a wired connection from the handset to the dolly, the handset will
be charged.
!
Attention
Please note, that if your Bluetooth Handset is connected to the S-Type via
cable the power will be taken from the dolly batteries, which decreases the
battery capacity of your dolly.
Step 1:
Connect the Panther S-Type Dolly batteries as described in „Power Supply“.
Step 2:
The Panther S-Types’s (and accessories) complete lift, panning and movement range must be
cleared before switching on the dolly.
Step 3:
Connect the Bluetooth Handset via cable to the dolly.
Step 4:
Switch the dolly on at the red main switch. Then turn on the „On/O“ button at the Bluetooth
Handset.
INITIAL OPERATION
!
The Panther S-Type Dolly may only be operated with the original Panther
batteries. Although the batteries left our warehouse fully charged, it is
possible that a long transit time/low temperatures caused the batteries
to empty. Please check this before operation.Fully charge the batteries
before first use.

flexibility on set. The following table informs you about when to use which wheel do achieve
the best possible working experience.
Distinguish the Studio Wheels
Studio Wheel hard and soft - both of them

you have to take a look onto the rim of it.
Every Studio Wheel has lasered the type of
wheel in the rim to make it easy to identify.
H = Hard
