Figure 13: Tightening the Nuts
Tips:
It is
important
to partially tighten the nuts to prevent the assembly from sliding
down the pole under its own weight, but leave some leeway to allow the rotation of
the assembly around the pole with just a moderate effort during the pointing
procedure.
It is
desirable
to tighten each nut 1/2 turn at a time, moving from nut to nut in a
crisscross manner (1-2-3-4) as shown in the Figure above, slowly increasing the
tension.
Setting Nominal Elevation
To set the nominal elevation:
1.
Verify that the two nuts retaining the Az/El vertically movable part (marked with a
larger circle) are loose.
Keep in mind there are two nuts, one at each side!
