51 Cep is seen adjacent to the position scale.
Delta UMi is seen adjacent to the position scale.

Turn the azimuth adjustment knobs so that Polaris comes as close as
possible to the designated position on the reticle. Unfastening one
side of the azimuth adjustment knob will allow fastening the knob on
the other side to change the azimuth direction.
Turn the altitude adjustment handles so that Polaris comes as close
as possible to the designated position on the reticle. Unfastening
one side of the altitude adjustment handle will allow fastening the
handle on the other side to change the altitude direction.

As Polaris shifts to the designated position on the reticle, both Delta
UMi and 51 Cep come close to their own designated position scales
respectively. While looking into the eyepiece of the polar alignment
scope, turn the polar scope body so that each of the position scale
for Delta UMi and 51 Cep come to the closest to actual Delta UMi and
51 Cep respectively.
The numbers 15 and 40 on the position scales for Delta UMi and 51
Cep show the years 2014 and 2040 respectively.
The Delta UMi and 51 Cep are seen adjacent to the position scales
as Polaris is set to the designated position on the polasr alignment
reticle.
Adjust the red light illumination to be dimmer if the reticle is too bright
to see the 4th magnitude Delta UMi and the 5th magnitude 51 Cep.
