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
