3. When all sections of the probe
are engaged, the barrel lock
will click into place and create
a solid probe (illustration
2). After the probe is locked
in the full length assembled
position, snap the cable clip
onto the probe shaft to secure
the free end of the cable loop
(illustration 3).
4. Important: If the barrel lock
does not click into place securely, it may be
necessary to adjust the cable length. It is possible
to adjust the cable length with the barrel lock by
loosening it (by turning counter-clockwise) or
by tightening it (by turning clockwise) when the
probe is disassembled. If the probe sections are
loose, tighten the cable with a clockwise turn of
the barrel lock. If the probe sections are tight,
loosen the cable with a counterclockwise turn
of the barrel lock (illustration 4). to loosen or
tighten the barrel lock, and thus adjust the cable
length, it is necessary to first loosen the lock ring,
then adjust the barrel lock and finally re-tighten the lock ring to secure the
barrel lock mechanism. these adjustments are best done before going
into the field because this procedure may require pliers or other tools not
usually carried in the backcountry.
