TELESCOPE ASSEMBLY

INSTRUCTION BEFORE YOU ASSEMBLE YOUR TELESCOPE
2. Set-Up Tripod
• Select one tripod leg and extend the Tripod Leg Middle Section (7). Using the Tripod Leg Lock Screws (10)
included in the hardware pack, insert a Tripod Leg Lock Screw into the lower brackets on the Tripod Leg (6).
Tighten the Tripod Leg lock Screws so that the Middle Section is securely in place. Repeat for the remaining
two legs.
3. Attach Telescope and Finderscope
• Locate the pre-assembled Telescope Main Tube (14) and Altazimuth Yoke Mount (12).
Note: Before assembling tripod legs to Altazimuth Yoke Mount, make sure the Acces-
sory Tray Braces (8) face inward. Locate the long bolts and washers from the hardware
pack. Position the mount over the Tripod Leg (6) as shown (fig. 1). and align the holes in
the Tripod Leg with the holes in the mount. Insert the bolts through the holes at the top of
a Tripod Leg. A washer should be positioned on both outer sides of the Tripod Leg. Attach
a wing nut to the bolt, but do not tighten it all the way. Repeat on the remaining two Tripod
Legs. Once you have attached all Tripod Legs to the mount, securely tighten all wing nuts.
Remove the Stabilizer Bar Mounting Screw (11) from the hardware pack and insert it into
the opening at the base of the Vertical Stabilizer Bar (4).
• Locate the Finderscope (1) with pre-assembled mounting bracket. Remove the two nuts located near the front
of the telescope (closet to the eyepiece) and place the Finderscope and bracket assembly over the exposed screws.
Replace the nuts, and securely tighten the Finderscope and bracket assembly in place.
4. Attach Accessory Tray
• Locate the Accessory Tray (9). Using the accessory tray bolts, wingnuts and washers connect the Accessory
Tray to the Accessory Tray Braces (8). Start with one tripod leg and attach wingnuts. Wingnuts should be posi-
tioned beneath the accessory tray. Do not tighten wingnuts until all Accessory Tray Braces are attached as some
adjustments may be required.
