6.2.3 Mounting the Side by Side attachment
1. Remove the dovetail mount clamping screw cap D on the focusing
assembly by inserting a thin object into the notch. (Fig. 7)
2. Using the provided Allen wrench, loosen the dovetail mount clamping screw inside
the cap on the focusing assembly.
3. Align the dovetail mount on the focusing assembly with the dovetail mount on the
SZX-SDO side-by-side viewing attachment, and insert them gently. (Fig. 7)
*
Do not insert them at an angle or with excessive force as this may cause
malfunctions.
4. When the side-by-side viewing attachment has been inserted until it stops, tighten the
clamping screw using the Allen wrench.
5. Place the cap D in the original position. (Fig. 7)
6. Place the SZX-SDO side-by-side viewing attachment on the mount so that the
secondary observer’s position is on the right side (as shown in Figure 8). Insert the 4
clamping screws provided with the SZX-SDO attachment into the 4 screw holes
and tighten using the Allen wrench (large) provided with the SZX-SDO attachment.
(Fig.
8)
(If the pillar support is installed on the left side of the base, mount the attachment so
that the secondary observer’s position is on the left side.)
To prevent the side-by-side viewing attachment from dropping, be sure to hold it by
hand until it has been clamped securely
