Unpacking; Parts List - Orion STARBLAST 6/6I Manual

Rotate
Figure 2. To remove the cardboard insert from atop the altazimuth base, rotate the telescope mounting bracket so its long
axis is vertically oriented, then lift the insert off.

1. unpacking

Carefully unpack the StarBlast 6/6i from its shipping box. We
recommend keeping the original shipping box and any smaller
accessory boxes contained within it. In the event that the tele-
scope needs to be shipped to another location, or returned to
Orion for warranty repair, having the proper shipping contain-
ers will help ensure that your telescope will survive the journey
intact.
To remove the foam insert from the top of the altazimuth base,
rotate the telescope mounting bracket so that its long axis
is oriented vertically, then lift the foam insert out of the box
(Figure 2).
Make sure all the parts in the Parts List below are present. Be
sure to check the boxes carefully, as some parts are small.
If anything appears to be missing or broken, immediately call
Orion Customer Support (800-676-1343) for assistance.
