Unbox and gather the pieces of your telescope.
1.
Extend all three tripod legs to a comfortable working height (just
above waist-high) and tighten all six clamps securely. Separate the
legs until the cross-section in the middle lays flat. Make sure the top
of the tripod is level before moving on.
2.
Locate the OTA tripod mount on the body of the telescope. Align
the hole in the middle with the tripod base screw in the middle of
the tripod. Attach the OTA to the tripod by securely fastening the
screw using the knob underneath the tripod head. Do not let go of
the OTA until the connection is completely secure.
3.
Be sure that the objective (larger) lens of the telescope is facing
opposite the tripod adjustment arm for easy movement later.
4.
Locate the two screws on top of the OTA near the lower end.
Remove the heads of these screws and place the finderscope
bracket using the corresponding holes. Fasten securely with
the heads.
5.
Slide the finderscope into the finderscope bracket with the smaller
end pointing downwards. Tighten the three thumbscrews on the
finderscope bracket over the rubber band on the finderscope to
secure it in place. Fine-tuning adjustments can be made later.
6.
Choose the lowest-power eyepiece (17.5mm included) and place
it in the diagonal prism, silver side first. Secure it in place with the
thumbscrew on the diagonal prism.

You are now ready to begin using your Zenith!
