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.

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.
