Part I - The Structure
1. General information about the structure and the choice of location
Before you begin the assembly, you must choose a suitable location for your
telescope. It helps, if you set up this instrument in a location, where a clear view
of the skies, a stable footing and sufficient space around you are given.
First, remove all the parts from the packaging. Using the diagram, check whether
all the parts are included.
ATTENTION!
Only tighten the screws with care "hand-tight" to avoid
"overtightening" the screws. This can cause damage to the
screws and threads
2. Set up tripod
The tripod legs are pre-assembled and already connected to the tripod head (Fig
5, X) and the tripod spider (Fig 1, 16).
Remove the tripod from its packaging and place it vertically with the tripod feet
facing down. Now take two of the tripod legs and carefully pull these tripod legs
apart to the fully open position. The entire weight of the tripod rests on one leg.
Then set up the tripod straight.
Now pull out each tripod leg individually to the desired length (Fig 4) and now
turn one each of the clamping screws (Fig 4, 11) 3 pieces
overtighten the screws! The clamping screws are used to lock the inner tripod leg
segments at the desired height.
TIP:
i
A small spirit level on the accessory tray can help you set up your
tripod level.
3. Insert mount
Next, attach the mount (Fig 1, 9) to the tripod head (Fig 5, X). To do this, insert
the mount into the top of the tripod head and hand-tighten the thumbscrew
from below.
The mount (Fig 1, 9) is assembled by sliding the weight on to the weight rod (Fig
7, X) and screwing it firmly in to the thread of the mount from below.
The mount is completed by placing the tube clamp (Fig 1+3, 8) on the mount and
securing it with the screw (Fig 8, X).
Maksutov optics do not have a tube clamp. The rail is placed directly on to the mount.
4. Mount shelf
The accessory tray (10) is placed on the tripod spider with the flat side down and
locked by turning the tray approx. 60° clockwise (Fig 6). The three pegs of the
tray should be centred in the receptacles of the tripod struts and snap into place.
5. Mounting the tube
To mount the telescopic tube (Fig 1, 1), first loosen the screws of the tube clamps
(Fig 9, X) on the holder and open the clamps.
