Sierra Super Trac Owner’s Guide
ASSEMBLY -
1.
Remove all parts from shipping carton and check to
make sure the kit is complete.
2.
There are rubber washers between clevis/lower rod and
loop ears. Use only the provided washers, fiber bolt, and
thumbnut to secure loop/search coil to clevis/lower rod.
3.
Unlock rod camlocks and insert clevis/lower rod into
center rod. Center rod into curved “S” rod so that stainless
steel spring slip buttons line up and lock into one of the
adjustment holes. Turn camlock to secure.
4.
Unravel Loop cable and wind the cable around the
clevis and rod assembly, first revolution over the top of the
rod. Wind cable all the way to the top of the “S” rod, about
five revolutions. Use the black cable retainers, one near the
loop, and one behind the display, to hold the loop cable in
place. Plug loop connector into control box and screw finger
tight to secure.
5.
Unlock control box rod camlock and insert curved “S”
rod so that stainless steel spring clip buttons line up and
lock into the rod on top of the control box. The “S” rod is
designed to curve up toward the display. However, those
who prefer to sweep the loop close to their feet may desire
to assemble the “S” rod to curve down toward the ground.
Turn camlock to secure. Plug loop connector into control
box, screw lock ring to secure.
6.
Grip the instrument by the handle, with your arm in the
elbow cup with strap secure, and sweep the loop/search
coil over the floor. If the instrument feels uncomfortable,
adjust the elbow cup by removing and repositioning the
bolt/thumbnut and installing in one of the optional posi-
tions. If necessary, re-adjust clevis/lower rod length with the
spring clip buttons so that the search coil can be held near
the floor and remain standing comfortably.
7.
Remove the protective paper from the two black
elbow cup foam pads. Carefully align pads on the
inside of the elbow cup, one on each side of the
center rod, and press firmly into place.
8.
Adjust the elbow cup strap so that it is loose
enough for you to slide your arm in and out without
loosening each time you want to set the detector
down. The elbow cup strap provides extra leverage
and control, however, some prefer not to use it.
9.
Install battery
lid decal facing down
, with
plastic tab and steel contacts facing toward inside of
battery compartment.
10.
It should be noted at this point that the detector
may not work as expected indoors due to the high
degree of metals used in modern construction. It is
best to tune and practice outdoors to ensure stable,
predictable results. Additionally, freshly-buried tar-
gets will not produce the normal depth and discrimi-
nation results of targets that have been naturally lost
and settled in the ground. It may take a number of
years for freshly-buried targets to respond at true
depths and discriminate accurately. The best way to
determine true detection depth is to use real search
conditions.
