Assembly and adjustment

Mounting the attachment to the tripod (fi g. B)
The tripod has been equipped with a threaded pin to
mount the attachment.
• Install the tripod on a relatively smooth and level
surface.
• Mount the attachment to the tripod by turning the
threaded pin (10) into the receptacle in the base
of the attachment.
• Tighten the knob (11).
WARNING: Before mounting the
attachment to the tripod, check that
the legs are firmly set, that the tripod is
wobble free and level.
Installing the tripod (fi g. C & D)
• Release the plastic snap (12) at the end of the
nylon strap holding the tripod legs together.
• Spread the legs (13) apart to install the tripod in
upright position.
• Adjust the legs (13) if required so that each of the
feet (14) is fi rmly touching the ground.
• Step on each of the brackets (15) to press the
feet (14) into soft ground.
• Unwind as much cord of the plumb bob (16) as
required.
• Hang the reel (17) onto the hook (18).
• Check whether the plumb bob dangles freely.
• Wind the surplus of the cord onto the reel (17) if
the plumb bob touches the ground.
16
• Adjust the legs above the middle of the triangle
of the base until the tripod is level as indicated by
the plumb bob.
• Remove the plumb bob from the hook.
• Mount the attachment to the tripod.
Adjusting the leg height (fi g. C)
• Release the quick-adjust latch (19) of the fi rst leg
(13) to set the desired height. Re-tighten the latch.
• Repeat as for the other legs.
Extending the grade rod (fi g. E)
The grade rod consists of several telescoping sections.
Each section is locked in place by a spring-loaded
button to hold the grade rod at various lengths.
• To extend the grade rod (20) one section, slide
the section out until the spring-loaded button (21)
engages.
• To shorten the grade rod one section, press the
button and slide the section back in.
Level adjustment (fi g. A & F)
For easy reference, the attachment must be positioned
in such a way that the objective is above one of the
levelling screws (5) as shown.
• Look straight into the prism (9). The air level (8)
should be centred in the vial.
• If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
• Turn the rear levelling screws (5) to bring the air
level (8) to the edge of the vial as indicated.
• Centre the air level by turning the front levelling
screw (5).
Focusing (fi g. A)
• Look over and through the optical peep sight (2)
to point the objective (4) towards the object to be
measured.
• Looking through the eyepiece, turn the eyepiece (1)
until the hairlines in the reticle are sharp and clear.
• Turn the focusing knob (3) until the object to be
measured is sharp and clear.
Angular adjustment
• Turn the horizontal tangent drive (7) as necessary.
