Due to the larger diameter lens opening on Type 2 lenses, the

Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve need to be installed from the rear

(bayonet end) of the lens. Use the housing Lens Release Control

and remove the camera lens from the camera body, after the

camera and lens have been installed in the housing.

Place the Gear Sleeve in the housing opening as shown.

Install the black Zoom Clamp on the Lens Zoom Ring and lower

the lens into the housing opening. Make sure the Zoom Clamp

grooved tabs align with the Gear Sleeve ribs. If necessary,

install rubber strips to expand the Zoom Clamp so it meshes

installing the port, rotate the housing Zoom Control Knob to see
