TELESCOPE ASSEMBLY

1.Remove all components from the carton and identify all components. It is a good idea to lay all the parts out in front of you before assembly. READ THROUGH ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE YOUR TELESCOPE. The only tool required in setting up your telescope is a slotted or Phillips blade screwdriver. Since your telescope is a precision optical system the parts require careful handling--particularly the telescope, eyepieces, and various accessory lenses.

2.Set-Up Tripod

∙Select one tripod leg. Loosen Tripod Leg Lock Screw (9) and extend the Tripod Leg Middle Section

(6). For a moment, do not extend the leg fully...a shorter leg is less awkward to work with during set-up. Tighten the Tripod Leg lock Screw so that the Middle Section is securely in place. Repeat for the remaining two legs.

3.Attach Telescope and Finderscope

∙Note: Before assembling tripod legs to Easy Track® Mount, make sure the Accessory Tray Braces (7) face inward.

Loosen long bolts at the top of Tripod Leg (5). Position the mount over the Tripod Leg as shown (fig. 2). and secure

Easy Track® Mount to Tripod Leg. Repeat on the remaining two Tripod Legs. Once you have attached all Tripod Legs to the mount, securely tighten all wing nuts in place.

∙Locate the pre-assembled Telescope Main Tube (2).

Remove Main Tube Locking Nuts (3) from screws extending from bottom of Telescope Main Tube (2). Insert extended screws into holes in cradle of Easy Track® Mounting System. Refasten Main Tube Locking Nuts (3).

∙Remove plastic insert on bottom side of finderscope to allow battery to make connection with battery contact for power. Turn power switch on. See finderscope page.

∙Look through main telescope tube at low power and establish a well-defined stationary target. Looking through red dot finderscope, alternate tightening each adjustment wheel (at rear and left side of finderscope) until the red dot of finderscope is precisely aligned and centered on the same object being viewed in main telescope tube. See finderscope page.
