3. Unpacking and Assembly
a) Place the two armrest halves (7) on either side of the shaft assembly
(6) and ensure that the bolt holes line up.
b) Slide two nylon bolts (8) through the holes and screw nylon wing nuts
(9) onto the bolts with a couple of turns.
c) Slide the ‘T’ section on top of the control box (5) into the assembled
armrest (7), with the detector stand at the rear. Tighten the nylon wing
nuts (9) by hand.
d) Push the armrest cover (10) over the assembled armrest (7).
e) Ensure that the lower shaft has two teardrop rubber washers (19)
installed. They should always be full thickness and should be replaced
regularly as they wear out.
f) Push the lower shaft into the mounting bracket on the coil (1) and
ensure that the coil decal faces the front.
g) Align the holes in the coil mounting bracket and the lower shaft. Push
a nylon bolt (19) through the holes and fit a nylon wing nut (19) which
should be tightened by hand. DO NOT over tighten as the coil housing
may be damaged.
h) Adjust the shaft length and coil angle for a comfortable position. Minelab
recommends that the shaft length be set to give a comfortable sweep
length of approximately 2 metres (see Section 7 for more details on
detecting techniques).
i) Wind the coil cable around the shaft and plug the coil connector into
the coil socket on the control box. Ensure that the cable is firmly
attached to the shaft without strain and cannot move around, especially
near the coil. Fasten the cable to the shaft with the supplied Velcro
TM
straps (19). Leave enough slack at the bottom of the cable near the
coil to allow the coil angle to be adjusted without placing strain on the
coil cable. If the cable is able to move around, especially near the coil,
it will be ‘seen’ by the detector and cause random noises, which can
be very confusing.
NOTE: Always ensure that the Power switch on the control box is turned
“Off” before connecting or disconnecting the coil.
