ABOUT YOUR SKULL MOUNTING SYSTEM
This manual covers the basic operating and tting instructions for the Ops-Core Skull Mounting System. The
Skull Mounting System is a multi-purpose headgear integration device that is compatible with a variety of
attachments. The Three Dial Adjustment system accommodates a full range of head shapes and sizes.
INTRODUCTION
COMFORT PAD SETUP
The Skull Mounting System is designed to t the majority of head
sizes. However, some users with smaller head sizes may nd the
thin pads to result in a loose t. If this occurs, replace the back and
side pads with the thicker comfort pads shown in dark grey.
COUNTERWEIGHT KIT
(OPTIONAL)
If you purchased a Counterweight Kit with your Skull Mounting
System kit includes (1) Small and (1) Large Counterweight with
corresponding hardware.
COUNTERWEIGHT
ATTACHMENT
NOTE: ONLY ATTACH A COUNTERWEIGHT IF YOU
NEED TO COUNTERBALANCE AN ATTACHMENT
AT THE FRONT OF THE Skull Mounting System.
Align Counterweight holes to the holes on the back of the Skull
Mounting System. Hold Counterweight in place and use your
fingers to loosely attach a screw through the Counterweight and
Skull Mounting System. Repeat for the remaining 2 holes.
Finish by using a screwdriver to tighten all 3 screws from the
outside of the Counterweight, making sure the Counterweight
is securely fastened to the Skull Mounting System.
