Congratulations on your purchase of a quality Orion
product
. The VersaGo E-Series Altazimuth Mount
is a sturdy and versatile single-arm mount designed
for use with spotting scopes, small telescopes and
binoculars. Its simple, lightweight design makes set-
ting up and using the mount quick and easy. Whether
you’re exploring scenic daytime vistas or scanning the
night skies, you will find yourself observing more and
fussing with equipment less when using the VersaGo
E-Series mount.
These instructions will help you set-up, properly use, and care for
your mount. Please read them over carefully before getting started.
Included Parts
Unpack all of the parts and lay them out in your workspace. Make
sure all the parts list below and shown in
Figure 2 are present.
Save the shipping box and packaging material. In the unlikely
event that you need to return the mount, you must use the original
packaging. Initial assembly of the mount is easy and should take
only about 15 minutes.
Parts List
Open the backpack (A) and remove and identify all parts, using
the list below and
Figure 1 for reference.
Included Parts
A – Tripod
B – Altazimuth arm
C –Accessory tray and leg brace
D – Micro-motion cables (short and long)
Assembly
1. Stand the tripod (A) upright and spread the legs apart a little.
Keep the tripod legs at their shortest (fully retracted) length for
now; you can extend them to a more desirable length later, after
the mount is fully assembled.
2. To attach the accessory tray (C), place a hooked tab on one of
the three corners of the tray over the screw in the leg collar, as
shown in
Figure 3A. Connect the tray to the other two legs in
the same manner (
3B), then tighten all three of the tray lock
knobs (
3C) to secure the tray in place.
3. Now you’ll install the altazimuth arm (B) onto the tripod. Remove
the azimuth tension knob and washer from the center shaft on
the bottom of the arm. Then place the base of the arm on the tri-
pod’s mounting platform, inserting the center shaft into the hole
WARNING:
Never look directly at the Sun through your
telescope—even for an instant—without a professionally
made solar filter that completely covers the front of
the instrument, or permanent eye damage could result.
Young children should use this telescope only with
adult supervision.
