BASIC OPERATION
The mount is designed to move and stop the rotational axes
without a clamp system.
The tracking and slow motion control are moved manually with
the slow motion control knobs.

Changing Tension of the Friction Stop Motion
APPLICATION
First, you need to accustom yourself to the basic operation of the altazimuth mount.
The tension of the friction stop motion can be adjusted in the altitude and azimuth directions as the need arises.
The position of each tension adjustment screw is shown in the figure.
Adjust the tension of the friction stop motion by loosening or tightening the tension adjustment screws with the supplied 4mm Allen wrench.
Be sure to loosen the tension adjustment screw while holding the optical tube as it may quickly affect the balance.
