The basic mounting procedure is common to all manual nosepieces.

Mounting a protection plate (optional)
The TI2-N-PT nosepiece protection tray (water tray and protection tray) can also be attached between the
nosepiece and the FL turret. The nosepiece protection tray should be mounted by Nikon personnel. For
details, contact your local Nikon representative.
