Fisher Gold Bug Operating Manual page 7

SETTING UP
REMEMBER: THE LONGER THE SHAFT, THE MORE YOU
WILL HAVE TO BEND YOUR ELBOW AND THE
SOONER YOUR ARM WILL GET TIRED. THE GOLD BUG
IS BALANCED FOR COMFORTABLE SEARCHING IN A
TIGHT SEMICIRCLE AROUND THE FRONT OF THE
OPERATOR.
5. With the stem length properly adjusted, wrap the
loop cable tightly around the upper stem and
secure it with the two Velcro straps. Connect the
cable connector to the control housing.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE CABLE IS NOT PULLED
TIGHT AT THE CONTROL HOUSING AND THAT YOU
HAVE ENOUGH SLACK AT THE SEARCH COIL TO
ADJUST IT TO ANY ANGLE
6. With the shaft length and coil angle properly
adjusted, you should be able to move into your
"search" position (as shown in the illustration on
page 4) by leaning forward very slightly and raising
your arm (still straight) until the search coil is about
2 inches above the ground and 12 inches in front
of your foot. The search coil should be parallel to
the ground and may have to be slightly readjusted
at this point.
7. If the arm rest is too wide or narrow, you may
bend it slightly inward or outward to meet your
exact requirements.
