tube distal end, side view mirror adapter lock groove and side view

foreign objects attached to them.
„ Attaching and detaching the side view mirror adapter
CAUTION
• If the side view mirror adapter cannot be attached or detached because its nut will not turn,
stop using the equipment and contact Olympus.
• The side view mirror adapter is a precision instrument using glass mirrors in the optics. Be
careful not to drop it or apply a strong impact to it.
• The mirror surface of the side viewing mirror adapter is an optical component. It is
susceptible to stains and scratches.
• Do not attempt to insert the insertion tube into the side view mirror adapter by force.
Otherwise, it would become impossible to withdraw the insertion tube later.
NOTE
• If the side view mirror adapter cannot be clamped completely by tightening the nut, the
threads may be contaminated. Apply the provided cleaning fluid on the inner side of the nut
of the side view mirror adapter and turn the nut. This will clean the threads and makes it
possible to clamp the side view mirror adapter completely.
• If the threads are extremely dirty or the claw inside the side view mirror adapter is
contaminated, remove the nut from the side view mirror adapter and clean it.

When inserting the insertion tube’s distal end into the side view
