1)  Remove the quick release shoe (Q) from the tripod by pulling outward on the 

lever (L). Position the telescope and the tripod so that the ¼” x 20 tripod bolt (TB) 
is aligned with the tripod socket underneath the telescope tube (1). Hand-tighten 
the tripod bolt by turning it clockwise. Do not over-tighten. 

 

2)  Place the quick release shoe (with the telescope attached) onto the tripod as 

shown below. You will have to hold the lever (L) out while you position the 
telescope. When the telescope is securely positioned push the lever (L) firmly 
inward.
