Bushnell 78-8000 manual Attach Finderscope And Telescope, The Final Steps

7.Locate the circular component with the five drilled holes. This component is called the azimuth bearing plate. Identify the side with the four outer countersunk holes like on the other components. The side with the holes countersunk is the underside.

8.Insert the remaining four screws through the azimuth bearing plate from the underside into the corresponding pre-drilled holes in the bottom edges of the side panels on the previously assembled "box" as shown in the diagram.

9.Take the assembled "box" and azimuth bearing plate and turn it on its side. Locate the remaining circular component called the bottom plate and the remaining hardware.

10.Take the bottom plate with rubber feet facing out and line it up with the hole in the center of the azimuth bearing plate of the assembled "box"/azimuth bearing plate combination.

11.Insert the Nylon center bearing tube through the hole. Place a flat washer on each side. Insert the Center Bolt from the bottom side and attach the hex nut on the top side. Tighten enough to hold the base together yet loose enough to allow the base to turn easily.

Note: Your Bushnell Voyager Dobsonian Telescope Body comes pre-assembled from the factory. No installation other than what is listed below is required.

ATTACH FINDERSCOPE AND TELESCOPE

1.Remove Reflector Telescope Body (2) and Finderscope (8) from carton.

2.Remove nuts located near the Rack & Pinion Focusing Mechanism (1) on Reflector Telescope Body (2).

3.Attach Finderscope (8) to Reflector Telescope Body (2) by inserting the screws extending from the Reflector Telescope Body (2) into the holes in the base of the Finderscope (8).

4.Refasten nuts so that Finderscope (8) is secure.

5.Take Reflector Telescope Body (2) with attached Finderscope (8) and set them into the Dobsonian base making certain that the Altitude Bearings (3) come to rest in the semi-circle cradles on the side panels of the Dobsonian base. Note: The Finderscope (8) should be on top of the Reflector Telescope Body (2) and the Bushnell® logo should be upright.

6.Move the Dobsonian Telescope Assembly in both directions (up and down, and left and right) to become familiarized with the unit. If the telescope doesn't move smoothly, review the assembly process to verify you performed the assembly correctly.

THE FINAL STEPS

1.Remove 1.25" Format Eyepiece (9) from carton.

2.Insert into Rack & Pinion Focusing Mechanism (1).

3.Remove Protective Dust Cover from end of telescope nearest the Rack & Pinion Focusing Mechanism (1).

4.Let the adventure begin.
