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 (8) and extend the Tripod Leg Middle Section (12). 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

∙Locate the pre-assembledTelescope Main Tube (2) and Equatorial Mount. Note: Before assembling tripod legs to Equatorial Mount, make sure the Accessory Tray

Braces (10) face inward. Carefully remove Telescope Main Tube from Cradles. Position the mount between Tripod Leg as shown (fig. 2). Secure Equatorial Mount to Tripod Leg using tripod bolts. Repeat on the remaining two Tripod Legs. Once you have attached all Tripod Legs to the mount, securely tighten all wing nuts and place Telescope Main Tube back into

Cradles.

∙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.

4.Attach Accessory Tray

Locate the Accessory Tray (11). Using the accessory tray bolts, wingnuts and washers connect the Accessory Tray to the Accessory Tray Braces (10). Start with one tripod leg and attach wingnuts. 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.
