Just picked up one of these and while I am 'pretty sure ' I can see how to put it together I would be happier if I had the instructions - which I dont so I would appreciate it very much if someone can advise or better yet perhaps sell me a copy of the instructions

Cheers

I had one until last weekend, Dave.

Not much to it.

Remove the original knob and focus surround, and replace with the Motofocus surround and appropriate knob.

The motofocus itself slides over the new knob and the thumb screw on the side locates it on the new surround.

It will take a while to go flat when doing nothing, but i used to disconnect the handcontroller/battery from the motor when not in use to preserve battery life.

Thanks Al,

Seems this design has the supplied knob to go over the existing one but otherwise I think its as you say - will play on the weekend

Many thanks

Dave
