Unpacking and Assembly
a) Place the two armrest halves (7) on either side of the
shaft assembly
(6) and ensure that the bolt holes line up.
b) Slide two nylon bolts (8) through the holes and screw nylon wing nuts
(9) onto the bolts with a couple of turns.
c) Slide the T section on top of the control box (5) into the assembled
armrest (7) (with the detector stand at the rear). Tighten the nylon
wing nuts (9) by hand.
d) Push the armrest cover
(10) over the assembled armrest (7).
e) Ensure that the lower shaft has two teardrop rubber washers (19)
installed. They should always be full thickness and should be replaced
regularly as they wear out.
f) Push the lower shaft into the mounting bracket on the coil
(1) and
ensure that the coil decal
faces the front.
g) Align the holes in the coil
mounting bracket and the lower shaft. Push
a nylon bolt (19) through the holes and fit a nylon wing nut (19) which
should be tightened by hand.
DO NOT
over tighten as the coil housing
may be damaged.
h) Adjust the shaft length and coil
angle for a comfortable position. Minelab
recommends that the shaft length be set to give a comfortable sweep
length of approximately 2 metres (see section 7 for more details on
detecting techniques).
i) Wind the coil cable
around the shaft and plug the coil connector into
the coil socket on the control box. Ensure that the cable is firmly
attached to the shaft without strain and cannot move around, especially
near the coil. Fasten the cable to the shaft with the supplied Velcro
TM
straps (19). Leave enough slack at the bottom of the cable near the
coil
to allow the coil
angle to be adjusted without placing strain on the
coil cable. If the cable is able to move around, especially near the coil,
it will be seen by the detector and cause random noises, which can
be very confusing.
Note:
Always ensure that the
Power
switch on the control box is turned
Off before connecting or disconnecting the coil.

j) Fit the battery (12) into the battery bag (13).
k) Plug the headphones (17) into the socket in the cap of the battery.
l) Put on the battery bag (13). Ensure that the
Power
switch on the control
box is set to Off. Plug the connector on the bag cable into the
Power
connector on the control box. This cable connects the battery and
headphones to the detector. The bungy cord (18) can be attached to
the knuckle on the shaft to take some of the weight when prospecting.
An adjustable hand strap on the handle allows you to relax and flex
your fingers without putting the detector down.
