subsections by pulling them apart.
Except for the 1–2' subsection,
the remaining three subsections are
equipped with connecting members.
Each connecting member has
a different color:
31 0 to 2' subsection
32 2' to 4' subsection (black)
33 4' to 6' subsection (yellow)
34 6' to 8' subsection (white)
2. Slide the black connecting member
of the 2-4' subsection into the black
compartment of 1-2' subsection until
the detent locks 35 in place.
3. Slide other subsections as described
on the picture noting that the color of
the connecting member and the color
of the compartment should match.
4. After assembly, lightly pull on the
subsections to ensure that they are
securely locked in place.

3. To reposition the rolling receiver over the grade rod, squeeze
the two brake release pads 21 and proceed. You may release
the two brake pads to lock the receiver onto the grade rod.
The receiver will remain secured on the grade rod.
To Dismantle and Store the Grade Rod
NOTE:
Always remove the receiver from the grade rod before
dismantling it.
1. Push the locking detents
35 of each subsection and pull
the parts apart slightly, remove
your finger from the detent and
pull the subsection apart.
2. Repeat this procedure for the
remaining subsections.
3. Stack the four subsections
together for storage.
Assembly
To Mount the Receiver to the Grade Rod
NOTE:
Always attach the receiver onto the grade rod from the 8-ft end
over the plastic end cap to prevent damage to the receiver rollers.
1. Position the 8-ft end cap between two lower rollers at the
back side of the receiver.
2. Squeeze the two brake release pads 21 and lower the
receiver until the top of the grade rod clears the upper rollers.

5. Find the directional planes of the X and Y Axis marked on
the top side of the instrument.
6. Y-Axis [Y-0º]:
Position the instrument as described on the image, so
that the "Y" Axis Indicator 13 is directed toward the wall
with the Worksheet (WS). In the "Y-0°" column of the
worksheet, mark a horizontal line as close as possible to
the center of the laser beam.
7. Y-Axis [Y-180°]:
Gently rotate the instrument 180º. Mark a second line
on the worksheet in the Y-180º column.
8. X-Axis [X-0º and X-180º]:
Repeat Steps 6 and 7for the X-Axis to mark X-0º
and X-180º on the worksheet.
7. ACCURACY CHECK
IMPORTANT! Laser beam widens over distance; therefore,
ALWAYS take measurements at the center of the beam.
However, for the sole purpose of accuracy check, since
the distance between the instrument and the target remains
constant, you may use the lower edge of the beam as reference.
IMPORTANT! Tripod needs to stand on solid ground.
WARNING! Ground shake or impact to the mounted
instrument may cause the beam position to fluctuate. Allow
time for the laser beam to self-level and ensure your vertical
height is maintained prior to continuing.
min. 50' (15 m)
1. Position the instrument and tripod at no less than
50' (15 m) from the opposite wall in a dimly lit room.
2. Draw an accuracy check worksheet as shown below.
3. Position the worksheet on the opposite wall of the room
so that the laser beam can be clearly marked.

purposes.
IMPORTANT! Do not tamper with the tripod or modify the
position of the worksheet during the accuracy check process.
4. Power-ON the instrument: Rotate the Pendulum Lock/
Unlock Switch 3 to the UNLOCKED Position and wait
until the beam is self-leveled on the horizontal plane.

9. Compare the four lines by drawing a straight line along
the lowest and highest reference lines. If the distance
between these two lines is less than the Total allowable
deviation of 3/8" at 50'or 3/4"at 100', the instrument
is properly calibrated.
However, if the measured deviation is more than the stated
tolerances, repeat the accuracy check procedure. Should the
readings persist over the allowable deviation, the instrument
is OFF calibration.
