Thank you for purchasing Xit 404’s Tokina 10-17mm Focus Ring to use 

with our Manta Gears. On the back is our warranty information to help you

prolong the life of this product.

This product is in our Manta Line. The advantage of the Manta Line of

Rings and Gears is that the parts are interchangeable. For example the 

Manta Gear fits on all Manta Focus/Zoom Rings as well as our

Manta Teleconverter Extension Rings. This allows you to purchase one

gear that mates with a variety of lenses.

Assembling the Focus Ring to your Manta Gear

Look at the drawing to the left and note which end of the lens the Focus

Ring slides onto. Then follow the instructions below.

1. Make sure your Focus Ring is in the unlocked position. Slide the Focus

    Ring onto your lens from the front. Push until it won’t go any further.

2. Once on the lens, grasp the Focus Ring, then press and hold the red

    latch on the Focus Ring while twisting the gray and red rings in opposite

    directions until the white dots line up. (Note: the locked icon). The Focus

    Ring is now locked onto the lens.

3. Set your lens to ‘manual’ focus. Then orient the Slip Ring as you see in

    the drawing to your left, the white dot and switch do not line up. Push the

    Slip Ring on until it stops. Next twist the Slip Ring counter clockwise until

    the white dot is in the center of the switch.

4. Slide the Manta Gear on from the back of the lens. Align the white 

    dot on the Manta Gear with the unpainted red dot on the Focus Ring. 

    Then press the two parts together. Once the the two parts are fully 

    mated, while holding the Focus Ring with one hand, and pressing 

    the red Manta Gear latch with thumb, twist the Gear until the white 

    dots line up (note: the locked icon). The Manta Gear is now locked 

    onto the Focus Ring.

Disassembling the Focus Ring

1. Remove the Manta Gear by pressing and holding the latch on the 

    Manta Gear. Then twist it until the white dot on the Manta Gear is 

    lined up with unpainted red dot on the Focus Ring (note: the 

    unlocked icon).

2. Pull the Manta Gear off the lens.

3. Remove the Focus Ring by reversing the steps 1 and 2. above The

    white dot and the unpainted red dot will not be lined up after step 2,

    allowing you to slide the Focus Ring off your lens.
