4. Assembly

Assembling the telescope for the first time should take about 30 minutes. The only tools you will need are a Phillips head screwdriver and a flat head screwdriver. As a general note, tighten all screws securely to eliminate flexing and wobbling, but be careful not to over-tighten and thereby strip the threads. Refer to Figures 1 through 4 during the assembly process.

During assembly (and any other time, for that matter), do not touch the surfaces of the telescope objective lens or the lenses of the finder scope and eyepiece with your fingers. These optical surfaces have delicate coatings that can eas- ily be damaged if touched. Never remove any lens assembly from its housing for any reason, or the product warranty will be voided.

Begin set-up of the telescope by assembling the tripod and mount first:

1.Lay the “Yoke” altazimuth mount (5) on its side. Attach the tripod legs (6), one at a time, to the base of the mount by sliding a tripod leg attachment screw (21) through the top of a leg and through the holes in the base of the mount. The washers should be on the outside of the tripod legs. Secure the wing nuts finger-tight. Figure 3b shows a clo- seup detail of the screws attaching the tripod legs to the altazimuth mount.

2.Install and tighten the leg lock knobs (23) on the bottom braces of the tripod legs (6). For now, keep the legs at their shortest (fully retracted) length; you can extend them to a more desirable length later, once the tripod is completely assembled.

3.Stand the tripod and mount upright and spread the tripod legs apart as far as they will go, until the accessory tray bracket (22) is taut. Connect the accessory tray (7) to the accessory tray bracket (22) with the three wing screws already installed in the tray. Push the wing screws up through the holes in the accessory tray bracket and thread them into the holes in the accessory tray.

4.Tighten the tripod leg attachment screws (21) at the tops of the tripod legs so the legs are securely fastened to the

mount. Use the Phillips head screwdriver and/or your fin- gers to do this.

5.Attach the altitude micro-motion rod and thumbwheel (13) to the optical tube by first removing the flat-head screw from the micro-motion rod attachment post (12) on the side of the optical tube. Slide the screw through the hole at the end of the micro-motion rod and rethread the screw into the attachment post. Make sure the screw is tightened.

The tripod is now completely assembled and the “yoke” altazi- muth mount is ready for the installation of the optical tube

6.To install the optical tube (1) in the “yoke” altazimuth mount (5), first slide the altitude micro-motion control rod into its receptacle, at the same location as the altitude lock knob

(19)on the side of the yoke. (Figure 4). Then, with the rod in place in the receptacle, gently drop the optical tube into the yoke so that the holes on the altitude castings (10) on the side of the optical tube line up with the holes on the top of the “yoke” altazimuth mount. Slide the yoke knobs (18) through the holes on top of the mount and thread them into the altitude castings on the optical tube. Tighten the altitude lock knob (19) securely.

7.Attach the EZ Finder II reflex sight (4) to the EZ Finder II mounting bracket (11). Loosen the two securing screws on the EZ Finder II (Figure 6) and slide it onto the mounting bracket. Tighten the two securing screws. You will align the EZ Finder II later, in the Getting Started section.

8.Insert the chrome barrel of the 90° mirror star diagonal

(2)into the focuser drawtube (14). Secure the mirror star diagonal with the diagonal holder thumbscrews (16).

9.Insert the chrome barrel of the 25mm Kellner eyepiece (3) into the 90° mirror star diagonal. Secure the eyepiece in the diagonal with the eyepiece holder thumbscrew (17). The eyepiece and diagonal properly installed should look like Figure 2b.

Your telescope is now fully assembled.
