1.1 Connecting the coil to the lower shaft
Place the two rubber washers into the holes on either side of the lower shaft.
Slide the bottom of the lower shaft into the bracket on top of the coil. Make sure that the
spring loaded pin in the lower shaft is pointed downwards.
Insert the plastic bolt through the hole in the coil and the lower shaft.
Fasten the bolt with the plastic wing nut. Be careful not to damage the thread of the bolt by
over-tightening. The plastic wing nut may need to be loosened to adjust the coil.
1.2 Shaft assembly
Make sure that the camlocks of the middle shaft are loosened by rotating them counter-
clockwise.
Push in the spring loaded pin on the lower shaft and slide it into the middle shaft until the
pin reaches the desired adjustment hole. Tighten the camlock by rotating it clockwise until
tight. Remember not to over tighten.
Attach the upper shaft assembly to the middle shaft by pushing the spring loaded pin in the
upper shaft assembly and slide it into the middle shaft until the pin reaches the adjustment
hole. Tighten the camlock by rotating it clockwise until tight. Remember not to over
tighten.

Remember, the detector should be set to length so that it is straight with your forearm
and feels comfortable and light when you pick it up.
1.3 Coil cable
Wind the coil cable around the complete shaft assembly enough times to take up any slack.
Use the Velcro strap to keep the coil cable in place.
Carefully push the coil plug into the socket on the back of the control box. Firmly tighten
the retaining ring by hand to hold it in place (do not over tighten).
WARNING!
The cable coming from the coil should not be wrapped to tightly in the coil area.
Leave enough slack in the cable so you can adjust the coil when you detect on uneven ground.
Failing to do this may result in damage to the coil cable or the coil itself.
