Setting Up - Fisher Gold Bug Operating Manual

SETTING UP

The Gold Bug comes to you just about ready to use. There are
only three steps required: sliding the lower stem into the upper
stem, connecting the loop coil to the control housing and
adjusting the angle of the search coil. Take a look at page 3
and familiarize yourself with the parts of the Gold Bug before
proceeding.
Adjust the stem length and coil
angle resting the search coil flat on
the ground and about 6 inches in
front of your right foot (left foot for
left-handers).
1. Unpack your new Gold Bug
carefully. Save the carton and
inserts –they may come in handy
for future storage or shipment.
2. Take a look inside the locknut on
the upper stem. Note the yellow
locking pad on the left-hand side
and loosen the locknut by rotating
it fully counterclockwise.
3. Slip the lower stem into the
upper stem, making sure the flat
side of the lower stem is aligned
with the compression pad inside
the locknut of the upper stem.
Tighten and loosen the fit by
turning the locknut.
4. Adjust the stem length (using
the lockout) and the coil angle
(using the nylon wing nut) so that
the search coil rests flat on the
ground about 6 inches in front of,
and slightly to the right of, your right
foot (to the left of your left foot for
left handers.) Your arm should be
straight and relaxed with your grip
held loosely.
