cleAning The eyepiece
you may need to clean the eyepiece of the riflescope from time to
time in order to guarantee top performance. When you receive your
riflescope you should check for dust on the eyepiece of the unit.
First you will need to remove the eyepiece. to do that you will need to
initially loosen the fixing screw that can be found on the base. then
unscrew the eyepiece counter-clockwise to remove it.
NOTE: You do not have to remove the set screws completely, they are
very small and easy to misplace.
CAUTION: Use only Photographic lens cleaning tissue on these sur-
faces. Be careful not to scratch or smudge any of these surfaces. When using compressed air to
blow dust away, make sure to avoid inverting the can while spraying. This can cause frozen pro-
pellant to exit the can, which can cause serious problems with the glass and phosphor screen.
