The base supports the telescope and allows you to moveSTEPthe1:telescope from side to side.
Line up one of the base side panels (9) with the base front panel (10) as shown here. Thread in the two black attachment bolts to secure the panels together. Tighten the bolts to a firm feel.
Repeat with second side panel.
STEP 2: Turn the base panels on their side.
Line up the circular base(11) with the 7 predrilled holes against the panels.
Thread 6 black bolts into the base, as shown here. Make sure that the side with the countersunk holes on the base face the bottom (see photo)
SlideTEPthe3:center bearing bushing into the 7th (center) hole of the circular base.
Line up the other circular base (sometimes called the ground base), which contains three teflon pads (finger points to a pad)
PlaceSTEPthe4:center bearing bushing into the countersunk hole of the ground plate. Slide the three roller bearing plates over the center bearing bushing: First the roller bearing plate, then the roller bearing itself (the plate that looks alike a wagon wheel), then the second roller bearing plate. Place the top part of the base plate assembly over the center bearing bushing. To secure in place: On the adjustment knob bolt, place two washers on either side of the roller bearing washer. Slide the adjustment bolt through the top base board and into the center bearing bushing and
Next attach the three feet to the bottom panel. Line up
eachSTEPfoot5: and thread a small attachment screw into the foot to hold it in place. Tighten to a firm feel.
When attaching the feet, make sure that the center
countersinkNote: depression is on the opposite side of the base. Next attach the three feet to the bottom panel. Line up
eachSTEPfoot5: and thread a small attachment screw into the foot to hold it in place. Tighten to a firm feel.
