Note: Before assembling tripod legs to Altazimuth Yoke Mount, make sure the Acces-
sory Tray Braces (8) face inward. Locate the long bolts and washers from the hardware
pack. Position the mount over the
Tripod Leg (6)
as shown (fig. 1). and align the holes in
the Tripod Leg with the holes in the mount. Insert the bolts through the holes at the top of
a Tripod Leg. A washer should be positioned on both outer sides of the Tripod Leg. Attach
a wing nut to the bolt, but do not tighten it all the way. Repeat on the remaining two Tripod
Legs. Once you have attached all Tripod Legs to the mount, securely tighten all wing nuts.
Remove the
Stabilizer Bar Mounting Screw (11)
from the hardware pack and insert it into
the opening at the base of the Vertical Stabilizer Bar (4).

of the telescope (closet to the eyepiece) and place the Finderscope and bracket assembly over the exposed screws.
Replace the nuts, and securely tighten the Finderscope and bracket assembly in place.

Accessory Tray (9)

Tray to the Accessory Tray Braces (8) . Start with one tripod leg and attach wingnuts. Wingnuts should be posi-
tioned beneath the accessory tray. Do not tighten wingnuts until all Accessory Tray Braces are attached as some
adjustments may be required.
