Revision 3 

Reinstall the Slotted Lock Ring 

Carefully  engage  the  threads  of  the  slotted  lock  ring 
onto the pivot-adjustment screw (se

Figure 33

).   

 

Figure 33 

 Reinstall the slotted lock ring 

Spin  the  revolving  turret  until one of the  five  threaded 
objective  bores  in  the  revolving  turret  aligns  with  the 
bore  in  the  stationary  base.    Insert  a  suitably  sized 
screwdriver  handle  into  these  bores  to  lock  the 
revolving  turret  to  the  stationary  base.    Use  a  suitable 
tool (se

Figure 9

) to snug the slotted lock ring down to 

lock  the  pivot-adjustment  screw  in  place  (see 

Figure 

34

).  Do not allow the pivot-adjustment screw to rotate 

while tightening the slotted lock ring.

Verify the Feel of the Revolving Nosepiece 

Hold the turret assembly by gripping the stationary base 
in one hand and spin the revolving turret with the other 
hand.    The  motion  of  the  turret  should  not  feel  gritty, 
erratic, or excessively stiff.  If it does, loosen the slotted 
lock  ring,  readjust  the  pivot-adjustment  screw,  and 
retighten the slotted lock ring (as described above) until 
the turret motion feels acceptable. 

Clean Off Any Visible Grease 

Use a suitable solvent (e.g., mineral spirits) and a clean 
rag or tissue to thoroughly clean any visible grease from 
the  exterior  of  the  turret  assembly.    Be  careful  while 
removing  the  excess  grease,  to  prevent  any  of  the 
solvent  from  dripping  into  the  revolving  turret 
mechanism and fouling the grease within.

 

Reinstall the Mechanical Detent Stop 

Place  the  mechanical  detent  stop  in  position  on  the 
stationary  base,  aligning  the  two  holes  in  the 
mechanical  detent  stop  with  the  two  tapped  holes  in 
the stationary base (see 

Figure 35

).  Make sure the stop 

ball on the detent stop is facing downwards. 

 

Figure 35 

 Place the mechanical detent stop in position 

Use  a  suitable  JIS  screwdriver  to  reinstall  two  M2X4 
pan-head screws to  secure the mechanical detent  stop 
in place on the stationary base (see 

Figure 36

).

 Secure the detent stop with two screws
