L-350 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION GUIDE
PREPARING SADDLE FOR OTA
1) Rotate the saddle so that it is ready to receive
the OTA. This will have it turned at a right-an -
gle relative to the length of the fork-arm. The
side you previously marked to indicate the “sky
side” of the saddle should be pointed opposite
of the mount’s power-switch.
2) Make sure the locking-knob for the Altitude/
DEC axis is installed and snug. While you will
remove the lock during the balancing process,
it is safest to have this in place during initial
mounting of the OTA.
3) If using an equatorial wedge, be sure the
Azimuth/RA axis is rotated so that the shoul -
der (or corner) of the fork-arm is nearest to the
ground. For reference, the image to the right
shows the L-500 in this same orientation.
4) Securely tighten the Azimuth/RA axis lock -
ing cleat.
5) Loosen the EZ-Saddle’s clamps (hand-knobs)
so that the chucks/jaws open as shown in the
drawing below.
6) Check proper orientation of the stability-bar
for the EZ-Saddle (covered in it’s instruction
sheet). For CDK12.5 and CDK14 systems, the
recessed side should face the dovetail.
