Rotator Base
Installing
Indexing Rings
1) Slide the Indexing Ring onto
the Rotator Base from the bot-
tom, keeping the portion of the
Indexing Ring with the degree la-
bel facing up until it makes con-
tact with the brass plunger. The
brass plunger will eventually snap
into the hole that in the side of
the Indexing Ring.
2) Rotate the Indexing Ring to
line up the notch on the top of the
Indexing Ring with the black
slanted alignment pin at the top
of the Rotator Base. The pin will
eventually go into the notch.
3) Depress the brass plunger and
push up on the Indexing Ring un-
til the brass plunger pops into the
plunger hole and the pin slides
into the notch.
Removing
Indexing Rings
On the lower portion of the black
Indexing Ring, there is gold col-
ored pin visible through the hole
in the side. Insert the tip of a ball
point pen or a paper clip end into
the hole and push the gold pin in-
ward till the Indexing Ring drops
down, then slide the Indexing
Ring off the Rotator Base.
Adjusting the Force
of the Spring Plunger
The screw, shown at left, can be
used to position the spring
plunger up and down. You can use
a screwdriver (or a coin) to adjust
the indexing or click-stop force.
The spring plunger is set from the
factory, but you may find that you
prefer a harder click-stop action.
Be sure to not overtighten the
plunger so that the metal body of
the plunger would come in con-
tact with the indexing ring. Also
be sure that the plunger is not set
deep enough as this will cause
excessive play in the indexing ac-
tion.
