3.Methodof Operation
3.1Settingand Levelling
a.Toadjusttripod,andlettheflatpartoftripod in alevelingposition,with itsheight
basicallyin the same line ofthetelescope andtheoperator'seyes.
b.Tosettheinstrument on tripod,andtoconnecttheinstrument tothetripod withthe
centralscrew.
c. Withthe help of levelingscrew. Centerthecircularbubbleexactlyattheposition.
3.2Aimingand Focusing
a. Torotateeyepiececover,observethroughtheeyepiece ofthetelescope,and letthe
sight distanceline ingraduatedscaleclear.
b.Toaimthestaff byrough finder,to rotatethefocusing handwheeluntil sight of
staff clear(forward to faraway,andbackwardtonearer),thentorotatethehand

4.Checkingand adjusting
Beforeleavingthefactory,eachcenterlineisproperlyadjusted,thecenterlineis
properlyadjusted,thecenterlinesmaydeviatefromproperpositionafter
transportation orlongtimeoperation.Sotocheckandadjustthemain centerlines is
necessarybeforemeasuring and surveying isfield work.

5.Service and maintenance
a.Theinstrument mustbeavoideddirectlyfrom
sunshine atworking time to keepaccuracy.
b.Afterfinishsurveyeachpart of instrument must
be cleanandmount intoinstrument box.
c. Whistoff dustfromopticaleiement bysoft hair

assesand softleather. Do nottouchlensbyhand.
d.Ifthereisanytroubleinworking or theinstrument hasbeenbr–(Fig.6) oken,you
mayreturnittoour factoryorsend ittoqualifieddepartmenttorepair it.Itis
forbiddento dismantletheinstrument randomly.
e. Theinstrument mustbestoredintheroomwith acidclimate,cleanand good
