ASSEMBLY
1) Carefully remove all parts from the cardboard cartons and lay them on a table or
on the floor in order to take an inventory of all the pieces. Keep your box for storage
or in case you ever need to ship your telescope.
2) Extend the legs, and lock each one at the desired height with the supplied tripod
adjustment knob (See Fig. 1).
(Fig. 1)
3) Connect all three tripod legs to the yoke with the supplied tripod leg attachment
bolts, washers, and wing nuts. Each leg has a hinged black metal flange located
halfway down its length. The legs should be positioned so that these hinged flanges
are facing the inside of the tripod. Note that there are two black plastic spacers inside
the top sections of each leg (See Fig. 2).
(Fig. 2)
4) Attach the accessory tray to the tripod by inserting an accessory tray screw
downward through each of the three small holes located near the edge of the
accessory tray. Lift up the black metal accessory tray bracket on one tripod leg so
that it is at a right angle to the leg. Push the accessory tray screw through the
accessory tray and then through the slot in the accessory tray bracket (See Fig. 3).
Place a washer, then a wing nut over the screw and tighten the wing nut finger tight.
Repeat for the other two legs (See Fig. 4).
