# Always push or pull the light path selector knob @ all the way into a

stop position. Do not attempt to force the knob past the stop position.
Applying excessive force could destroy the mechanism.

Adjusting the Tilt

(Fig. 14)

}Adjust the height and tilt of the observation tube to the most comfortable

viewing position.
Holding the binocular assembly with both hands, raise or lower it to the
desired position.

# Do not attempt to force the binocular assembly past the upper or

lower stop position. Applying excessive force could destroy the
mechanism.
