1
Loosen both the dovetail plate lock screw and safety screw on
the mount head fully so that space is available for the dovetail
slide bar.
2
Attach the dovetail slide bar to the mount head so that the
dovetail slide bar fits securely into the sunken mount head.
Orientate the dovetail slide bar as shown in the figure to pre-
vent the dovetail slide bar from falling. (The dovetail slide bar
has a stopper screw on one side of the dovetail rail.) Attach
the dovetail slide bar so that the tip of the dovetail plate lock
screws hits on another part of the dovetail rail with no stopper
screws.
3
First tighten the dovetail plate lock screw onto the dovetail
slide bar centering notch until it is snug. Then, securely tighten
the safety screw.
The mount head unit is attached onto the head of the polar axis body
aseembly with three set screws that are equally put on its side. The
set screws can be loosened with the 4mm Allen wrench to change
the position of the mount head to pint at your desired orientation.
