Revision 3
Reinstall the Knurled-Rubber Grip Ring
The final assembly step for the turret assembly is to
reinstall the black knurled-rubber grip ring around the
outer perimeter of the revolving turret and secure it in
place with a suitable color-matching adhesive.
Black E6000 is a good choice of adhesive here, since it
will bond well with the metal of the revolving turret as
well as to the black knurled-rubber grip ring.
Additionally, any of the inevitable squeeze-out that is
not completely removed will not be visible. Apply two
dabs of the black adhesive (item S1 of
Appendix 1 ) onto
the outer perimeter of the revolving turret, spaced
approximately 180° apart (see
Figure 42 ).

Carefully reinstall the knurled-rubber grip ring onto the
outer perimeter of the revolving turret, making sure to
not stretch or damage the grip ring in the process (see
Figure 43 ).

Use dry cotton swabs lightly dampened with isopropyl
alcohol to thoroughly remove any adhesive squeeze-
out (see
Figure 44 ).

Ready for Service
The newly reconditioned BH2-5RE modular revolving
nosepiece assembly is now ready to provide many more
years of service (see
Figure 45 ).

Requirements for Periodic Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and application of fresh grease to the
mechanical detent notches in the stationary base is
necessary to minimize wear of the mechanical detents,
thereby maximizing the useful service life of the
BH2-5RE. This can be easily accomplished by simply
removing the protective cover, cleaning and re-greasing
the detent notches, and then reinstalling the protective
cover per the procedures detailed in this document.
The dovetail slide does not need to be removed to
perform this periodic maintenance. If the equipment
sees heavy usage, this service should be performed on a
six-month interval

Field experience has shown that even heavily used scopes (such as those
used in hospitals and clinical lab settings), when lubricated on a six-month
interval, can be expected to provide many years of trouble-free service.
