THE SHAFT ASSEMBLY
The shaft assembly is made up of the upper and lower shafts connected by the shaft
camlock. The assembly houses the coil cable and connects the search coil to the
handle assembly. These instructions assume that the search coil is connected to the
lower shaft.

To assemble the lower and upper shaft:
CAUTION Release the shaft camlock lever before inserting
the lower shaft.
STEP 1 (Figure 2.4) Feed the coil cable which is inside the lower
shaft through the inside of the upper shaft.
STEP 2 (Figure 2.5) Slide the lower shaft entirely into the upper shaft
until the camlock rests against the yoke.
STEP 3 Pull the coil cable’s metal connector through the open end of
the upper shaft until it ‘dangles’ from the opening.
You are now ready to connect the shaft assembly to the
handle assembly.
