If the ends of the leveling bolts sink into the ground, lay an iron plate to
prevent them from sinking into the ground.

holes at the lower part of the pillar.
2. Place the pillar on the leg head and turn the pillar until the bolts
enter the smaller holes of the keyholes.

key.
2. Assembling the fork mount and pillar stand
2-(1) Assembling the fork mount and stand adapter

2. Lightly screw the four M10 hex socket head cap bolts into the M10
holes at the bottom of the stand adapter.
2-(2) Assembling the fork mount with the adapter and
pillar stand
1. Insert the M10 hex socket head cap bolts you set to the lower part of
the stand adapter in step 2-(1)-2 into the larger holes of the keyholes

3 Removing the fork mount with the adapter

Reverse step 2-(2) to remove them. Keeping the fork mount and the adapter
in an assembled state will allow you to skip step 2-(1) for the second and
subsequent installations.
If the product is placed outdoors, we recommend that you remove the
binocular telescope body and fork mount from the pillar stand after use and
then store it.
