21. MOUNTING THE AN/PAQ-4A
INSERT THE BATTERIES INTO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT
POSTION THE AIMING LIGHT ON THE MOUNTING BRACKET
SECURE THE AMING LIGHT OT THE BRACKET
PLACE THE WEAPON BETWEEN YOUR KNEES WITH BARREL FORWARD

22. MOUNTING THE AN/PAQ-4A CONT
INSERT THE MOUNTING BRACKET INTO THE RIFLE HANDLE. MAKE SURE THE ALIGNMENT PIN ON THE BRACKET IS FULLY RETRACTED AND FLUSH WITH THE TOP SUFACE OF THE BRACKET
ADJUST THE MOUNTING BRACKET TO LINE UP THE ALIGNMENT PIN WITH THE HOLE IN THE RIFLE HANDLE.

23. MOUNTING THE AN/PAQ-4A
TURN THE THUMB WHEEL CW TO FULLY ENAGE THE ALIGNMENT PIN IN THE HOLE OF THE RIFLE HANDLE
USING THE THUMBWHEELCONTINUE TIGHTING UNTIL THE AIMING LIGHT BRACKET ARE FIRMLY MOUNTED ON THE RIFLE
NOW YOU ARE READY TO ZERO

24. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A
MARK THE DESIGNATED STRIKEING POINT 3 SQUARES DOWN AND 3 SQUARES TO THE RIGHT OF THE CENTER OF THE ZERO TARGET
SHADE IN A 4 X 4 SQUARE REIGION WITH THE STRIKE POINT AS THE CENTER. THIS REIGION IS CALLED THE DESIGNATED STRIKE ZONE

25. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT
ATTACH THE 25 METER ZEROING TARGET TO A FLAT SURFACE AT 25 METERS
PREPARE THE SECOND AIMING LIGHT WHICH IS CALLED THE BORESIGHT
REMOVE SCATTER SHIELD FROM BOTH AIMING LIGHTS.

26. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT
SCREW ON THE BORESIGHT APERTURE TO THE FRONT OF BOTH AIMING LIGHTS
SCREW THE ALIGNMENT DEVICE INTO THE BATTERY CAP OF THTE BORESIGHT UNITL FULLY SEATED

27. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT
8. ROTATE BOTH AJUSTMENT KNOBS FULLY CLOCKWISE(CW) TO THE END OF TRAVEL. NOW ROTATE EACH KNOB BACK 5 TURNS COUNTERCLOCKWISE(CCW) AND ALIGN THE WHITE DOT ON EACH KNOB WITH THE FRONT FLANGE. THE BORESIGHT IS NOW IN ITS NEUTRAL POSITION.

28. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT
TURN THE BORESIGHT TO THE FULLY ON POSITION AND INSERT IT IN THE BARREL
WHILE WEARING NVG, BRACE THE RIFLE SUCH THAT BORESIGHT SPOT IS HELD STEADY ON THE CENTER OF THE 25 METER ZERO TARGET

29. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT
11. ROTATE THE BORESIGHT IN THE BARREL. IF THE SPOT DOES NOT MOVE OFF THE BLACK SILHOUETTE IN THE CENTER OF THE ZEROING TARGET, SKIP TO STEP IF THE BEAM TRACES A CICLE LARGER THAN THE BLACK SILHOUETTE ON THE TARGET WHILE ROTATING THE BORESIGHT , THEN THE FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENT MUST BE MADE.

30. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT
HOLD THE BORESIGHT IN THE BARREL WITH THE MOUNTING FOOT IN THE 12 O’CLOCK POSTION. ROTATE THE BORESIGHT ½ TRUN TO THE 6 O’CLOCK POSTION. OBSERVE THE MOVEMENT OF THE SPOT BEFORE AND AFTER ROTATING THE BORESIGHT. ROTATE THE AZIMUTH AND ELEVATION KNOBS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING CHART:

31. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT LEFT/UP CW LEFT/DOWN CCW RIGHT/UP RIGHT/DOWN
MOVEMENT OF SPOT DIRECTION OF ADJUSTMENT
ROTATION
AZIMUTH ELEVATION
LEFT/UP CW

RIGHT/UP
RIGHT/DOWN

32. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT NOTE
THE RATE OF ADJUSTMENT IS ONE SQUARE(1/4 INCH) PER CLICK AT 25 METERS.
THE NUMBER OF CLICKS ROTATED SHOULD BE HALF THE TOTAL DISTANCE THE SPOT MOVED IN EACH DIRECTION WHEN THE BORESIGHT WAS ROTATED ½ TURN

33. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT EXAMPLE
IF THE SPOT MOVES 8 SQUARES TO THE RIGHT AND 8 SQUARES DOWN WHEN THE BORESIGHT WAS ROTATED THE FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENT SHOULD BE MADE

34. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT ROTATE THE AZIMUTH KNOB 4 CLICKS
ROTATE THE ELEVATION KNOB 4 CLICKS
REPEAT STEPS 11 UNITL THE SPOT NO LONDER MOVERS OFF THE BLACK SILHOUETTE WHEN THE BORESIGHT IS ROTATED ½ TURN

35. ZEROING AN/PAQ-4A CONT
WITH THE RIFLE MOUNTED SO THAT THE BORESIGHT SPOT IS ON THE CENTER OF THE TARGET, SWITCH ON THE MOUNTED AIMING LIGHT
USE THE ADJUSTER KNOBS TO ADJUST THE MOUNTED AIMING LIGHT SPOTS UNITL IT LIES AT THE 10 O’CLOCK AND TOUCHING THE BORESIGHT SPOT

38. CONFIRMING ZERO AN/PAQ-4A
FROM A SUPPROT POSTIONS, SWITCH ON THE AIMING LIGHT AND POSTION THE SPOT IN THE CENTER OF A 25 METER ZERO TARGET.
FIRE A 3 ROUND SHOT GROUP WITH THE SPOT CENTER MASS OF TARGET.

39. CONFIRMING ZERO AN/PAQ-4A
3. WALK DOWN TO THE TARGET AND INSPECT THE SHOT GROUP FIRED. IF 2 OUT OF 3 ROUNDS ARE WITH IN THE DESIGNATED STRIKE ZONE, SHIP TO STEP 4. IF NOT DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF CLICKS REQUIRED TO MOVE THE CENTER O FHTE SHOT GROUP TO THE DESIGNATED STRIKE POINT. REPEAT STEPS 1-3 UNITL TWO OF THE THREE ROUNDS ARE IN THE DESIGNATED STRIKE ZONE.

40. CONFIRMING ZERO AN/PAQ-4A
4. THE AIMING LIGHT IS NOW ZEROED FOR 100 METERS. REMOVE THE OPTICAL RETAINER AND REPLACE IT WITH THE SCATTER SHIELD. NOW THE AMING LIGHT IS READY FOR OPERATION.
