Chapter 4 Basic operations
CAUTION
• When jettisoning the hook the scope may be damaged, accordingly jettisoning the hook
should only be done as a last resort to dislodge a hook that is caught. Any damage caused
by jettisoning the hook is not covered under warranty and repairs are the responsibility of the
owner.
3 After the hook has been jettisoned, do not retract the distal end of
the spring shaft into the channel. Gently withdraw the scope, with
the spring shaft distal end visible within the field of view.
NOTE
• When the hook breaks at the hook slits and falls off, a part of the broken hook remains
attached to the spring shaft. Remove the remaining part by turning the spring shaft in the
opposite to the direction the hook was screwed onto the spring shaft. As mentioned in “
Attaching the hook to the spring shaft” (page 49), grip the distal end of the spring shaft with a
pair of pliers. Taking care not to scratch the spring shaft’s screw thread, lightly grip the
remains of the hook with another pair of pliers and turn. The remaining part can be easily
removed.
