ASSEMBLE THE BASE
STEP 1:
The base supports the telescope and allows you to
move the telescope from side to side.
Line up one of the base side panels (9) with the base front panel
(10) as shown here. Thread in the two black attachment bolts to
secure the panels together. Tighten the bolts to a firm feel.
Repeat with second side panel.
STEP 2:
Turn the base panels on their side.
Line up the circular base(11) with the 7 predrilled holes against
the panels.
Thread 6 black bolts into the base, as shown here. Make sure that
the side with the countersunk holes on the base face the bottom
(see photo)
STEP 3:
Slide the center bearing bushing into the 7th (center) hole of the
circular base.
Line up the other circular base (sometimes called the ground
base), which contains three teflon pads (finger points to a pad)
STEP 5:
Next attach the three feet to the bottom panel. Line up
each foot and thread a small attachment screw into the foot to
hold it in place. Tighten to a firm feel.
Note:
When attaching the feet, make sure that the center
countersink depression is on the opposite side of the base.
STEP 5:
Next attach the three feet to the bottom panel. Line up
each foot and thread a small attachment screw into the foot to
hold it in place. Tighten to a firm feel.
STEP 4:
Place the center bearing bushing into the countersunk hole of the
ground plate. Slide the three roller bearing plates over the center
bearing bushing: First the roller bearing plate, then the roller
bearing itself (the plate that looks alike a wagon wheel), then the
second roller bearing plate. Place the top part of the base plate
assembly over the center bearing bushing. To secure in place:
On the adjustment knob bolt, place two washers on either side of
the roller bearing washer. Slide the adjustment bolt through the
top base board and into the center bearing bushing and
hand-tighten. A nut is captured on the bottom plate. See drawing
Note:
You will need to supply a phillips screwdriver and a one-
quarter inch or adjustable wrench to assemble the telescope.
Note:
Numbers in parentheses. e.g., (9), refer to Fig.1 and Fig. 1
insets.
Looking at or near the Sun will cause irreversable damage to your eye. Do not point
this telescope at or near the Sun. Do not look through the telescope as it is moving.
