3.1. Installing the optical tube to the telescope base.
The tube fits to the assembled base as shown. For convenient
transportation, both tube and base should set apart after each
observation.
3.2. Installing the side friction kit. To increase the friction on the tube
bearings a system of tensioning springs is used. This avoids the
inconvenient tilt of unbalanced telescope tubes.
Please identify the different components and assemble it as shown. Make
sure to loop the cord through one hook of the spring.
3.3.
3.3. Installing the Finderscope. Start by sliding the supplied O-ring to the tube mark
(arrow below). Next, slide the finderscope bracket and use the thumbscrew to
tighten it in place. The finderscope tube can be fitted to the finderscope bracket.
Make sure that the adjustment screws sit on the finderscope tube recess and the O-
Ring on the front.
How to use the tension spring? Pass one hook #G to the nylon
cylinder #I and use the locking knob #F to fix it in place. The spring will
be lose. The opposite spring loop should be laced with the cord E.
Stretch the spring pulling the loop and fitting it the other nylon
cylinder #D. Do this to both side bearings.
