Step 1
Ensure that all parts are at hand:
1. Tripod Mount Head column lock
2. Counterweight (2.5kg - 5.5 pounds)
3. Counterweight collar
4. Counterweight shaft
5. Counterweight safety screw
6. Tripod spreader base
7. Azimuth screws
8. Dovetail locking screw
9. Polar scope cap
10. Mount head
Step 2
Start by opening the tripod
and setting the desired height
and attaching the spreader
base. For stability purposes, we
suggest extending the tripod
legs out to their fullest length.
Step 3
Attach the mount to the tripod
and fasten via the central bolt
located underneath the top
tripod base.
Step 4
Make sure that the mount head
is secured to the tripod. The
mount head should not rotate
on the base of the tripod.
NOTE:
Before moving on, check to ensure that the mount head is firmly attached and that the system does not wiggle or rock back and forth.
To ensure that the system is correctly attached, lift the mount head up to make sure that it does not come apart from the tripod.

Step 5
Based on your location, roughly
set the altitude by turning the
knob below the counterweight
borehole to raise or lower the
mount head.
Attach the counterweight
collar to the shaft, and then
attach the shaft to the mount.
Depending on your altitude, you
can set the shaft for either high
or low altitudes.
