1
Loosen the 3 setscrews on the side of the mount head with the 4mm
Allen wrench. Remove the mount head. The mount head base (black)
is exposed.

Loosen the two screws on the mount head base with the 4mm Allen
wrench and remove the mount head base.

Attach the AP declination body unit onto the exposed R.A motor
module.
To remove the declination body cover, open up the polar scope
window on the declination body by sliding down the shutter. While
pushing down on the hook on the bottom of the declination body, pull
out the declination body cover by pinching the hook and window hole
as shown in the figure.
4
Attach the declination body onto the R.A motor module so that the
electrical contact on the declination body fits snugly onto the counter-
part on the R.A motor module as shown in the figure.
The internal joint electrical contact of the declination body is very
delicate. Take care not to touch with fingers or other objects.
