Reinstall the Slotted Lock Ring

Carefully engage the threads of the slotted lock ring

with the pivot-adjustment screw (see

Figure 33 – Reinstall the slotted lock ring

Spin the revolving turret until one of the six 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

9) to snug the slotted lock ring down to

lock the pivot-adjustment screw in place (see

34). 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 two tapped holes in

the stationary base (see

ball on the mechanical detent stop is facing downwards.

Figure 35 – 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

in place on the stationary base (see

Figure 36 – Secure the detent stop with two screws

Apply Grease to the Mechanical Detents

Apply fresh grease (item S2 of

mechanical detent notches in the revolving turret (see

Figure

Be careful that you do not get grease

anywhere else.
