BEFORE YOU START
Assembling the
telescope
YOU WILL NEED
› Stand
› Three attachment screws
› Shelf with three wingnuts
› Telescope
› Two star-knob tighteners
› Eyepiece
HERE'S HOW:
1. Extend the three legs of the stand to their full
length. Insert the three attachment screws
into the threads in the center of the legs. The
legs should not collapse when you set up the
stand with its legs spread apart.
2. Screw the shelf to the stand's attachment
bars with its rimmed side oriented upward. To
do that, first unscrew the three wingnuts
from the shelf and then screw them back in
through the holes in the stand's attachment
bars. Keep screwing until the shelf stops
jiggling.
3. Insert the shiny height adjustment rod, which
is mounted on the side of the telescope, into
the opening in the telescope cradle.
