Loosen the Altitude Clutch Lock Lever and rotate the telescope tube upwards until it is level with the ground. Tighten the Lock Lever.

With the tripod set up outside, lift the telescope by the carrying handle on each fork arm and carefully lower it onto the tripod head. Make sure that the hole in the bottom of the drive base goes over the positioning pin in the center of the tripod head. Rotate the base until the holes line-up with the mounting holes on the tripod. Thread the three mounting bolts from underneath the tripod head into the bottom of the telescope base.
