Installing the Focus Motor
The following directions are illustrated using a Feathertouch SCT MicroFocuser, but the
instructions are identical for any Feathertouch focuser.
1)
Begin by removing both the brass fine focus and black standard focus knobs from
the focuser. Use the included medium size hex-head wrench to remove the knobs.
2)
Install the small brass gear onto the focus shaft. The gear goes toward the
telescope, with the smaller gear hub away from the scope, as shown below. The
gear should touch the brass bearing hub on the focuser. Use the small hex-head
wrench to lock the gear in place.
Note:
The gear has a small insert to allow installation on different size focus shafts. The
insert can only be removed from one side. Using one of the hex-head wrenches to push
the insert out can be helpful.
