Quick Setup Guide
Place the accessory tray on top of the center brace
and line up the three holes. Insert the three thumb
screws through the bottom of the leg brace and
thread them into the tray.
Place the slow-motion control knob over the
D-shaped gear shaft and push inward to make sure
it is fully seated. Use the hex key to tighten the
setscrews onto the gear shaft. Return the hex key to
its storage position in the front of the mount.
Hold the telescope tube next to the mount with the
dovetail bar on the tube facing the clamp on the top
of the mount arm.
Slide the dovetail bar into the clamp at the top of the
mount and tighten the hand knob on the bottom of
the clamp to secure the telescope in place.
Remove the cap from the focuser and insert the barrel
of the 25 mmeyepiece into the focuser. Tighten the
setscrew to secure the eyepiece in place.
Slide the finderscope bracket into the dovetail slot
on the telescope tube near the focuser. The large
window on the finder should be facing the front of
the telescope. Secure the bracket by tightening the
setscrew on the dovetail slot.
To attach the slow-motion knobs to your mount,
first locate the supplied hex key hidden inside the
slot in the front of your mount.
