QuickPan III 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
label facing up until it makes
contact with the brass plunger.
The brass plunger will eventu-
ally snap into the hole that is 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 until 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 colored pin visible through
the hole in the side. Insert the
tip of a ball point pen or a pa-
per clip end into the hole and
push the gold pin inward 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
contact with the indexing ring.
Also be sure that the plunger
is not set deep enough as this
will cause excessive play in the
indexing action.
