Insert the Allen wrench into the Latitude Adjustment
Knob for more turning torque.
Two latitude ranges, 15~41° and 39~65°, can be set
up for the mount head. To change the latitude range
from one to the other,
both
the Latitude Position Bolt
and the Latitude Locking Screws need to be moved to
the correct locations.
To switch the latitude range:
Loosen the Latitude Locking Screws just enough
to adjust the latitude setting to between 39
～
41°. Tighten Latitude Locking Screws.
Unthread and pull out the Position Bolt. Remove
and do not lose the two black tubes. Insert the
Position Bolt to a new latitude position with one
black tube on.
Adjust the Latitude Adjustment Knob while
holding the bottom brass eyebolt until it lines up
with the Position Bolt. Insert another black tube
and secure the Latitude Position Bolt.
Move the Latitude Locking Screws (one on each
side) to the new locations revealed.

Install telescope
: A HEM mount accepts a Vixen or a
Losmandy-D dovetail mounting plate. The default is
Vixen-type one.
Release the dovetail Saddle Locking Lever and slide
the telescope dovetail plate into the saddle with Gear
Switch disengaged. Make sure that the arrow sign on
the saddle is pointing forward. Tighten the Saddle
Locking Lever. Pull the lever and turn it to the
position that the lever is parallel to the saddle to
prevent it interfering with the DEC unit during mount
GOTO and tracking.
To convert dovetail saddle from Vixen-type to
Losmandy-type.
(HEM44 has two locking blocks.)
(1)
Loosen the two socket screws (red circled), flip
and move the fixed block outward, then tighten
the screws.
(2)
Remove the two blue circled screws and pull the
dovetail saddle locking block from the saddle.
(3)
Release the four screws (yellow circled) to
separate the saddle from the mount. Flip the
dovetail saddle locking block and secure it onto
the saddle from bottom of the dovetail saddle.
