1.1 unpacking
The entire mount will arrive in two boxes, one containing the
pier tripod (the “pier-pod”) and two counterweights, the other
containing the mount head and hand controller. Be careful
unpacking the boxes. We recommend keeping the boxes and
original packaging. In the event that the mount needs to be
shipped to another location, or returned to Orion for warranty
repair, having the proper packaging will ensure that your mount
will survive the journey intact.

WarninG:
• Never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or with a
telescope – unless you have a proper solar filter installed
over the front of the telescope! Otherwise, permanent,
irreversible eye damage may result.
• Never use your telescope to project an image of the Sun
onto any surface. Internal heat build-up can damage the
telescope and any accessories attached to it.
• Never use an eyepiece solar filter or a Herschel wedge.
Internal heat build-up inside the telescope can cause
these devices to crack or break, allowing unfiltered
sunlight to pass through to the eye.
• Never leave the telescope unsupervised, either when
children are present or adults who may not be familiar
with the correct operating procedures of your telescope.
Make sure all the parts in the Parts List are present. Be sure
to check the boxes thoroughly, as some parts are small. If
anything appears to be missing or damaged, immediately call
Orion Customer Support (800-676-1343) or email support@
telescope.com for assistance.
