To collimate/align yourself, you need a tripod (to fix the binocular some 1 m above the ground), a Sun (as a light source) and a piece of white paper on the ground with 2 marks (circles, crosses.. distance between them should be the same as distance between centres of eyepieces), onto which you will project the images of Sun through both optical systems.
Simply adjust the collimating screws (or eccentric rings around front lenses) until you have both Sun's projections on marks (couple of mm error will not be the problem).
