Reinstall the Slotted Lock Ring 

Carefully  engage  the  threads  of  the  slotted  lock  ring 
with the pivot-adjustment screw (see 

Figure 37

).   

 

Figure 37 

 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 (see 

Figure 13

) to  snug the slotted lock ring down 

to lock the pivot-adjustment screw in place (see 

Figure 

38

).  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  tapped  holes  in  the 
stationary base (see 

Figure 39

).  Make sure the stop ball 

on the mechanical detent stop is facing downwards (see 

Figure 40

)

 

Figure 39 

 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 
into place (see 

Figure 40

).
