NOTE: Make sure that the line of sight is perpen-
dicular from the eye to the viewing port of the
transit and that the target image is centered in
viewing port of transit.
(3) Turn the dial on the side of the transit until
the bubble in the spirit level is centered.
(4)
When the bubble is centered, note "plus" or
"minus" reading on the compensator scale. This figure
indicates the degree of slope of the floor and must be
transferred to each aimer.
(5)
With a screw driver, turn the adjusting slot of
the floor level compensator in each aimer, until the
correct plus or minus figure (or fractional part) ap-
pears in the proper window, Fig,

Secure the aimers to the glass or smooth sur-
face three to five feet apart so split image targets can
be located in the viewing ports.

tical calibration is correct. If the bubble is not cen-
tered, make the
DOWN-UP
adjustment by rotating
the level adjusting screw until the bubble is centered
in the spirit level.
(6)
The horizontal aim is correct
if
the targets on
opposite aimers are aligned in the viewing ports. I f
the targets are not aligned in the viewing ports, ro-
tate the mirror adjusting screw until the target split
image becomes aligned.
