DH Satellite 60 Heavy Duty Polar/Powered Dec - Manual (Page 9)

ASSEMBLING RING TO BOOM
In most cases the 60” ring is already attached to the boom. If you have requested your shipment as
the knocked down version then you will have to assemble these pieces. The easiest way to assemble the ring
and the boom is before you set the boom in place on the base can. First attach the top and bottom tubes to
the ring. Take the 3” bottom tube and lay it between the ears of the ring. Insert the 3/4” x 2” bolt through the
ear on the ring. Now thread the bolt into the tube. Do the same for the other end. See photo A-A.
Now thread one 3/4” nut on each of the two 3/4” declination bolts. Run the nuts most of the way
down. Insert the bushing into the top and bottom tubes, two bushings per tube. Now swivel the bottom tube
slightly and set the base bolt of the boom in place and secure with 1” nut. Next you can swivel the unit into
place so the top tube slides over the declination bolts. Secure by threading the remaining two 3/4” nuts to the
declination bolts. Now is the ideal time to attach the locking bar if you are not going to motorize this unit.
The locking bar can go on either side of the top tube and bolts in place with the 1/2” x 1 1/2” at the tab and
1/2” x 5” bolt at the back of the boom. Lift assembly onto base can and follow instructions from “Preparing
The Base Post” section.
