Installation Steps

1. Prepare the FMP13 Sight

Before attaching the PM01 mount, you'll first need to install the FMP13 sight onto it.

Note: Apply a small amount of blue Loctite 242 to the threads of the screws that will hold the sight to the mount.

● Use a torque wrench to tighten the screws to 20 in/lbs.

● Allow the threadlocker to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.

2. Attach the PM01 to the Picatinny Rail

Once the sight is securely attached to the PM01, you can install the mount onto your rifle's Picatinny rail:

a) Open the Throw Lever

Press the locking button (1) and pull the locking lever (2). This will open the throw lever and prepare it for installation.

b) Position the Mount

● Align the PM01 mount with the Picatinny rail on your rifle.

c) Secure the Mount

● Push the locking lever down until it clicks into place. You should hear a definite click from both the lever and the locking button, indicating that the mount is securely locked.

3. Check Stability

After installation, it’s essential to check whether the PM01 is stable:

● Gently shake the mount to test for any movement. If you notice any shaking or instability, proceed with the next step.

4. Adjust the PM01 (if necessary)

● If the mount is not stable, remove the PM01 by pressing the locking button and pulling the lever again.

● Find the adjusting screw (3) on the PM01. Tighten this screw to eliminate any play but do not unscrew it completely, as this may cause internal parts to pop out.

Note: Please do not unscrew the adjusting screw completely to avoid the internal spring popping out.

● Reinstall the PM01 by following steps a) to c) again in step 2.

Final Check

Once reinstalled, check once more for stability. It should be firmly attached to the Picatinny rail with no shaking.

Important Notes

● Always ensure that the threadlocker is completely dry before further handling.

● Do not over-tighten the adjusting screw to avoid damaging the internal mechanisms.
