2.2.6 INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE HEAD MOUNT
To install the head mount:
NOTE:
Do not put the head mount on with the monocular attached.
1. Before putting the head mount on, loosen the four ends of the chin strap (approximately two
inches from the sliding bar buckles; see Figure 2-3).
NOTE:
If the head mount is too loose, remove the attached thin brow pad (Figure 2-3) and replace it with
either the medium or thick brow pad (these are stored in the carrying case). Refer to Paragraph
3.1.2 for removal and replacement of the brow pads.
2. Snap the front and rear clasps into place (Figure 2-3).
3. Using both hands, grab the neck pad (Figure 2-3) and pull the harness over your head, sliding the
neck pad down over the back of your neck.
4. Holding the chin cup in place, adjust both sides of the chinstrap until you feel it press lightly
against your chin. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
5. Maintain the position of the chin cup and remove any slack from the chinstrap. DO NOT
TIGHTEN.
6. Ensure that the cross-strap is not twisted. Remove any slack by adjusting the vertical adjustment
of the neck pad.
7. Adjust the chinstrap and vertical adjustment until the chin cup and headband are in a comfortable
but secure position.
NOTE:
After installing the monocular, minor strap adjustments may be necessary to achieve maximum
comfort.
