13. CARE OF INSTRUMENT
It will pay dividends to treat your instrument well.
1.
Avoid possibility of accident. When near moving equipment, never leave
instrument unattended. Always spread tripod legs to insure a stable setup. If
the instrument is set up on pavement or flooring, protect the tripod legs by
making small holes or depressions for the tripod points to set into. Another
method is to insert screw eyes at the lower inside of the tripod legs and run
cord, wire or light chain between the three screw eyes.
2.
When going through buildings or any close quarters, hold the tripod under
your arm with the instrument in front of you.
3.
Store your instrument in its case when not in use.
4.
Avoid jolting your instrument. When transporting the instrument by automobile
or truck, see that the instrument is in its case and properly protected. If you
have to carry the instrument in a vehicle without the case, take the instrument
off the tripod and carry it in your lap.
5.
When working in dusty locations, some dirt will collect on the lenses. Never
scrub the dirt off, but rather dust it off with a clean soft rag.
6.
Dust and dirt will collect on the leveling and tangent screws eventually causing
their operation to become sticky. Brush the screw threads with a child's
toothbrush dipped in solvent (preferably nonflammable) and work it into
the threads.
7.
Never overtighten leveling screws, adjusting screws or clamp screws. No
instrument will withstand mistreatment.
8.
If your instrument bubble(s) require(s) adjustment, see “Bubble Adjustment”
section before proceeding.
9.
Have your instrument checked periodically by a qualified service station or by
the factory.
