Lemme see...Hook the adaptor onto the "micrometer" shaft. Adjust the lower bolts until adaptor is perpendicular to the projector head. Adjust the "micrometer" and the nuts on the top of mount until adaptor is centered over the lens. Loosen the front nuts to rotate the "micrometer" bracket for azimuth adjustment. Tighten all nuts and pray nothing got bumped out of whack in the process and that the tweaking holds from repeated removal and replacement of the adaptor in the normal course of operation. Kind of a fiddly setup, compared to the threaded cylindrical adaptor we take for granted.  |  IP: Logged
