Rotation clamp rings
The rotation clamp ring is attached to the
eyepiece sleeve to prevent the rotation of the
eyepiece. When removing one of the eyepieces,
do not hold the ring and forcibly pull it out
together with the eyepiece. The ring must be
detached when earlier-made eyepieces are
attached. Pay attention to the following when
attaching the ring again.

Attaching the rotation clamp ring
Hold the ring facing its ¢ 0.8 protrusion toward
you. There are two pawls on the ring and two
grooves on the sleeve. Attach the ring to the
sleeve to fit the pawls into the grooves.
