The telescope optical tube attaches to the altazimuth mount with the altitude slow motion rod assembly and the respective knobs. Before starting, remove the front
opening cap. To mount the telescope tube to the mount:
1.
Remove the protective paper covering the optical tube.
2.
Put the telescope optical tube inside the yoke (altazimuth) mount so that the altitude slow motion rod assembly is on the same side as the altitude locking
screw (see Figure 1-1). Note that on some telescopes that the rod may be attached to the telescope optical tube. If the rod is not attached to the optical tube,
remove the screw from the mechanism (with the provided tool) shown on the far left of Figure 2-7 and put the rod in place as shown in Figure 2-7. Then,
put the screw through the hole in the rod and into the mechanism and tighten it.
3.
Thread the altitude locking knob out so the hole is clear in the eyebolt (see Figure 2-8).
4.
Put the rod of the assembly through the eyebolt and then tighten the altitude locking knob – Figure 2-9.
5.
Thread the two knobs (one on either side of the mount) through the top of the mount into the threaded holes in the optical tube and tighten – Figure 2-7.

The PowerSeeker Alt-Az mount is easy to move wherever you want to point it. The up and down (altitude) is controlled by the altitude locking knob (Figure 2-10). The
side-to-side (azimuth) is controlled by the azimuth lock (Figure 2-12). When both knobs are loose you can find your objects easily (through the finderscope) and then
lock the controls.
For fine adjustments in altitude, you turn the knurled ring of the altitude slow motion rod (when the altitude lock is tight) in either direction – see Figure 2-9.
Note:
Before tightening the altitude locking knob, the location you are seeking should be located in the
finderscope.
