tabs to secure cable in the
correct position on the shaft maintaining
slack at coil and control box.
Note: Weather Protection - The hipmount
bag is designed so that it can be used to
weatherproof your control box while detecting in
inclement weather. The new design allows the
hipmount bag to protect the control box while still on the shaft. The
control box is positioned into the hipmount bag with the slot for the
mounting bracket positioned at the back. The velcroed panel is then
wrapped across the top of the stem. The hipmount bag is available from
your supplier as an accessory item.
3.5 Rear Shaft Mount
The Eureka Gold provides the option of mounting
the control box at the rear of the shaft (2),
beneath the armrest.
In order to mount the control box (1) in this
position:
a) Loosen the nylon wing nut from the armrest
and remove the detector stand.
b) Firmly wind between 17 and 20 turns of the cable around the shaft until
it reaches the control box.
Leave enough slack at the bottom of the cable near the coil to adjust
the coil position without straining the coil cable.

tabs to hold in
position.
f) Connect the coil connector (13) to the plug (14) on the rear of the control
box.
d) Clip the control box onto the rear mounting bracket (see figure 5).
b) Slide in the black plastic rear control box bracket (8).
c) Tighten the nylon wing nut on the armrest.
3.6 Hipmounting/Chestmount
Hipmounting is an alternative to mounting the detector on the shaft and
significantly reduces physical strain, enabling longer search time without
undue fatigue. A hipmount bag is available as an accessory item
for this purpose.
a) Check that there are charged batteries in the control box.
b) Place the control box into the hipmount bag with its control panel
facing outwards (see figure 7).
c) Place the hipmount bag in your preferred
working configuration. The hipmount bag can
be worn on the belt or over the shoulder.
Note: If mounting the hipmount bag on the chest,
a belt can be thread through the belt loop and
around the chest to hold the bag in position.
d) Wind about 5 turns of the cable around the
shaft. This will reduce the amount of excess
cable.
