operating Instructions
Initial setup:

With the Spotting Scope lower than desired,
a.
loosen the Vertical Height Adjustment Knob
(8) and raise the Spotting Scope and base
to the desired level. Tighten the Vertical
Height Adjustment Knob again. (See Fig. 3.)
Viewing angle:
2.
Depending on how the Spotting Scope is
a.
mounted on the base, it can view horizontal
and up, or horizontal and down.
If the subject to be viewed is horizontal to or
b.
below the Spotting Scope, mount the scope
with the Tilt Adjustment Lever (6) on the right-
hand side of the Tripod.
If the subject is at a higher level than the
c.
scope, mount the Spotting Scope with the Tilt
Adjustment Lever (6) on the left-hand side.
(See Fig. 3.)
Loosening the Tilt Adjustment Lever (6) al-
d.
lows the scope/base to tilt right/left.
Loosening the Horizontal Adjustment Knob

to sharpen the image of the subject being
viewed.
