Removing the Lens Cover
To protect your spotting scope, the objective lens, focuser, and accessories are fitted with protective
covers. All are tension-fitted and easily removed by pulling off. The covers should be removed as
each piece is installed. Once removed, place the covers in the box to ensure they won’t get lost.
Attaching the Standard Accessories
With your spotting scope attached to a sturdy mount, as described earlier in this manual, you are
ready to attach the standard accessories. To do this:
1. Remove the protective covers from the focuser of the spotting scope, the 45º Erect Image
Diagonal, and the eyepiece.
2. Loosen the thumbscrew on the focuser of the spotting scope so that the opening (i.e., inner
diameter) is unobstructed.
3. Slide the chrome barrel of the 45º
Erect Image Diagonal into the focuser
barrel.
4. Tighten the thumbscrew on the focuser
to hold it in place.
5. Loosen the thumbscrew on the
eyepiece holder of the 45º Erect Image
Diagonal. Make sure that it does not
block the inner diameter of the
eyepiece holder.
