Step 1.
Extend tripod legs to full extension. Then lock legs using the
lock knobs on sides.
Step 2.
Assemble the three prong washer and azimuth clutch lock (#8)
onto the mount base. Do not fully tighten the AZI clutch lock
yet.
Step 3.
Install three star-shaped adjustment screws (#6) onto the tripod
head #5. Carefully position telescope mount onto the tripod by
aligning the three holes on the bottom of the mount base (#7)
to the three level adjustment screws (#6) on the top of the
#6
tripod (#5), hold the mount with your hand.
Adjust level adjustment screws (#6) to level the mount using
the bubble level on the base. Rotate the mount to make sure
the bubble is staying in center, or stay in the same place. (An
external torpedo level may help.)
Step 4.
Secure the mount to the tripod by using the long tripod bolt
(#4). Thread the bolt into the bottom of the mount by turning
the tripod knob (#3).
Next, slide tripod support spread (#2) onto bottom of bolt (#4).
Position the three edges to fit against the three tripod legs.
Then hand tighten tripod lock knob (#1) to secure the tripod
support spread in place.
