T ELESCOPE ASSEMBLY
1. Remove all components from the carton and identify all components. It is a good idea to lay all the
parts out in front of you before assembly. READ THROUGH ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION BEFORE YOU
ASSEMBLE YOUR TELESCOPE. The only tool required in setting up your telescope is a slotted or
Phillips blade screwdriver. Since your telescope is a precision optical system the parts require
careful handling--particularly the telescope, eyepieces, and various accessory lenses.
2. Set-Up Tripod
• Select one tripod leg. Loosen Tripod Leg Lock Screw (8) and extend the Tripod Leg Middle Section (12). For
a moment, do not extend the leg fully...a shorter leg is less awkward to work with during set-up. Tighten
the
Tripod Leg lock Screw so that the Middle Section is securely in place. Repeat for the remaining two
legs.
3. Attach Telescope and Finderscope
• Locate the pre-assembled Telescope Main Tube (2) and Equatorial Mount. Note: Before assembling tripod
legs to Equatorial Mount, make sure the Accessory Tray
Braces (10) face inward. Carefully remove Telescope Main
Tube from Cradles. Position the mount between Tripod Leg as
shown (fig. 2). Secure Equatorial Mount to Tripod Leg using
tripod bolts . Repeat on the remaining two Tripod Legs . Once
you have attached all Tripod Legs to the mount, securely
tighten all wing nuts and place Telescope Main Tube back into
Cradles .
• Remove plastic insert on bottom side of finderscope to allow
battery to make connection with battery contact for power.
Turn power switch on. See finderscope page.
• Look through main telescope tube at low power and establish
a well-defined stationary target. Looking through red dot
finderscope, alternate tightening each adjustment wheel (at
rear and left side of finderscope) until the red dot of
finderscope is precisely aligned and centered on the same
object being viewed in main telescope tube. See finderscope
page.
4.
Attach Accessory Tray
Locate the
Accessory Tray (11). Using the accessory tray bolts, wingnuts and washers connect the Accessory
Tray to the Accessory Tray Braces (10) . Start with one tripod leg and attach wingnuts. Wingnuts should be
positioned beneath the accessory tray. Do not tighten wingnuts until all Accessory Tray Braces are attached,
as some adjustments may be required.
