Olympus Cube Assembly Procedure

Step

Action

1.2.12

Place the filter inside the Exciter mounting area with the arrow pointing in.

1.2.13

Insert the retaining ring open side into the Exciter mounting area of the cube. Using the

Spanner Wrench, carefully rotate the retaining ring to avoid cross threading. If the ring will

not turn, it is not threaded properly – slowly turn the ring out and try again. Do not force

thread the ring as it will turn freely if oriented correctly.

Tighten the ring snug against the Exciter filter. Once snug, tighten another quarter turn to

secure. In the photo below, note the retaining ring shoulder side faces outward.
