Repair Binolux Binoculars

Binolux binoculars are entry level optics made for general use. These binoculars have focus levers between the two optic barrels. Compact models use a dial between the barrels to bring the viewed area into focus. Lenses are calibrated and aligned, and it is not advisable to try to repair the lenses yourself. Small, general repairs to the Binolux optics are doable at home.


Instructions


1. Pull the push-out between the two optic barrels to check the tightness. If the two barrels do not move toward each other easily, the attachment screws are too tight; if the barrels flop around, the screws are too loose. Tighten or loosen the screws in the attachment point between the barrels.


2. Go around the rubber casing on the Binolux binoculars looking for cracks or tears in the rubber. Use a line of clear glue to repair any rubber damage.


3. Pick out accumulated grime between the ficus dial or levers. Once the grit is picked out, brush off the mechanisms with a fine optic brush.


4. Hold the binoculars up to a light and check the lenses for smudges or grease. Add lens cleaner to the lenses and wipe them down with a dust free cloth.


5. Blow off the entire Binolux optics with some compressed air.
