TELESCOPE ASSEMBLY

1. Remove telescope from carton and identify all components. READ THROUGH ASSEMBLY

INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE YOUR TELESCOPE

2. Set-Up Tripod, Mount and Accessory Tray

• Select one Tripod Leg (9) and extend the Tripod Leg Middle Section (10). Using Tripod Leg Lock Screws

(13) included in the hardware pack, insert the Tripod Leg Lock Screw into the lower brackets on the
Tripod Leg (9). Tighten the Tripod Leg Lock Screws so that the Middle Section is securely in place.

Repeat on remaining two legs.

• Locate the Equatorial Mount (22). Note: Before assembling tripod legs

to Equatorial Mount make sure the Accessory Tray Braces (11) face
inward. Locate the long bolts and washers from the hardware pack.

Position the mount over the Tripod Leg as shown (fig. a). and align the
holes in the Tripod Leg with the holes in the mount. Insert the bolts
through the holes at the top of a Tripod Leg (9). A washer should be
positioned on both outer sides of the Tripod Leg. Attach a wing nut to the
bolt, but do not tighten it all the way. Repeat on the remaining two Tripod

Legs. Once you have attached all Tripod Legs to the mount, securely

tighten all wing nuts.

• Locate the Accessory Tray (12). Using the accessory tray bolts, wingnuts

and washers ( 3-_” bolts, 6-_ washers and 3 - wingnuts) connect the Accessory Tray
to the Accessory Tray Braces (11). Start with one Tripod Leg and attach wingnut. 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.

1. Attach Finderscope

• Locate the Finderscope(20) with pre-assembled Finderscope Mount (21). Remove the two nuts located

near the back of the Telescope Main Tube (2) and place the Finderscope and Mount assembly over the
exposed screws. Replace the nuts, and securely tighten the Finderscope Mount in place.

2. Attach Telescope Main Tube

• Locate the Telescope Main Tube (2). Remove the wingnuts that are attached to the long screws

protruding from beneath the telescope. Position the long screws over the two holes in the Equatorial

Mount (22) and carefully secure the Telescope Main Tube to the Equatorial Mount.

3. Attach Control Cables, Counterweight and Eyepieces

• Locate the Fine Adjustment Cables (14) and the fine adjustment knobs (located in the hardware pack).

Remove the black “Phillips” head screw at the end of the cables. Place the knobs over the
adjustment cable and position so that the holes are aligned. Replace screws and secure tightly.
