TENSION CONTROL OF FOCUSING MOVEMENT
The focus tension is easily adjusted by using the Swift adjustment
wrench. This wrench fits the tension collar found on the focusing
controls, between the knob and upright support. A clockwise turn
of this collar moves it toward the upright support and increases
tension, while a counter clockwise turn moves the collar toward the
knob and decreases tension (see illustration).
CLEANING
Eyepieces should be cleaned as often as necessary to allow
unobstructed viewing. Clean the eyepieces by brushing away dust
particles using a soft camel hair brush or with air pressure, then
moistening the lens by breathing onto it. Wipe the lens carefully
with quality lens tissue. If dirt or other foreign matter still remains,
it may be necessary to use water or optical cleaner (eyeglass or
camera lens). Note: the lens tissue should be moistened, not
saturated, for cleaning, after which the lens should be dried using a
quality lens tissue. Painted surfaces should be cleaned with soapy
water or mild non-abrasive cleaners and a soft cloth. Do not use
solvents on painted surfaces.
