The EFP Quickfit™ adaptor [15] is secured by six screws which pass through the adaptor into
the slide plate [16]. The adaptor [15] may be fitted in three positions.

the screws (M4 x 12 mm) provided with the adaptor.

the rear of the head.

The slide plate clamp [14] should be set so that in the up or clamped position it prevents the slide
plate [16] from moving, while in the down or released position it allows free adjustment of the
slide plate. To adjust the slide plate clamp [14], proceed as follows:
