This section covers the assembly instruc-
tions for your SVBONY SV501P. Your
telescope should be set up indoor the first
time so that it is easy to identify the various
parts and familiarize yourself with the correct
assembly procedure before attempting it
outdoor.
The SVBONY SV501P comes in one box.
The pieces in the box are – telescope optical
tube, tripod, erect image diagonal, 20 mm
eyepiece, 5x24 finderscope with bracket (all
packed in the travel backpack).
1. The tripod comes preassembled so that the set up is very easy.
2. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs outward until
each leg is fully extended (Figure 3).
3. You can raise the tripod legs to the height you desire. At the
lowest level the height is about 17.7” (45 cm) and extends to
about 54.3” (138 cm).
4. To raise the height of the tripod, you unlock the tripod leg lock
clamps at the bottom of each tripod leg (Figure 4) by opening the
clamp for each section by pulling outward. Once a clamp is
unlocked, then pull the tripod leg out as far as it will go and then
close the leg lock to secure it. Continue doing this for each
tripod leg and each section to raise the height to the level you
desire. A fully extended tripod looks similar to the image in Figure
5. With all the legs raised up on all sections, the height will be
about 54.3” (138 cm).
