- Page 7 Left: Azimuth and Altitude Encoders (Encoder Magnet Alignment Plate Included) Right: Main board with MCU and Bluetooth In order to install encoder modules on the Dob, you need to drill holes before screwing the parts. The drilling locations are shown on the under picture.
- Page 8 Hardware Installation 1 Turn over to the bottom of Dobsonian base to install the Main Column (part #1). 2 Fix the Main Column with 3 small screws (part #件 9) with proper torque. 3 Turn back to the upper side of Dobsonian base 4 Install the Main Column Cover (part #2) into the central hole.
- Page 9 5 Put on the Bearing(part #3), then put on Bearing Cover (part #4) 6 Tighten the bearing Gently with Main Column Nut(part #5) 7 Screw the Magnetic pads for azimuth module (part #7 & 9). After finishing, stick the thick rubber pads (part #11). Do not remove the upper tape at this moment. 8 Install the azimuth encode magnet (part #6).
- Page 10 Make sure the head of Encoder Magnet little passing through the Encoder Alignment Plate. If not, put more or take away the magnet washers to adjust its height. 9 After confirmation, remove the upper tape on the thick rubber pad. Then, stick the whole azimuth module to complete the azimuth installation.
- Page 11 10 Screw the Magnetic pads for altitude module (part #7 & 9). After finishing, stick the thin rubber pads (part #10). 11 Install the altitude encode magnet on the altitude side cover (part #14). Insert several washers (part #8) to make the magnet inside the zone where the altitude encoder could sense.
- Page 12 13 Power Plug: Only DC 5V~15V is allowed. The included DC-USB cable (part #13) is for any 5V USB battery. The USB portable battery for mobile phone is one of the most convenient power suppliers. The battery case (8 AA batteries) comes with in GSO Dobsonian kit could be the power supplier as well.

- Page 14 Q / A and Troubleshooting 1. Is the EZ PUSH TO compatible with my Dob ? So far, GSO ever ODM many brands Dob. The feature is plastic black covers on both sides to adjust the tension. EZ PUSH TO is directly compatible with them. 2.
- Page 15 3. Why is my Dob inaccurate? There are two issues, 1st is app setting, 2nd is system alignment Let us check the 1st issue: Time should be correct (error is less than 1 min), please set the time on your smart phone precisely.
- Page 16 Besides, the USB power bank is a good solution. Be aware to choose new model of 5V USB power bank. Most outdated models would power off automatically in minutes because the EZ PUSH TO is an extremely power saving product. 6.
