3. CEM70 Mount Assembly

STEP 1. Remove mount head from package
Remove mount head from package: The RA axle is locked by an Allen wrench. Make sure it is
inserted all the way in. Check the R.A. Gear Switch and turn it to unlocking position before removing it from
the box.
STEP 2. Attach the mount
The mount has a 152mm base, which can be mounted onto an iOptron Tri-pier, LiteRoc
(light payload), or your own tripod/pier with two M8 threaded mounting holes separated 130mm in diameter.

Hold mount head while remove the Allen wrench from the RA yoke. Turn the RA gear switch to
locking position to prevent RA free swing.
Two mounting screws are pre-installed on the base. Rotate the mount to align the screws to the
tripod mounting holes. Insert the wrench into the holes on the base where azimuth locking screws are
located. Tighten the screws.
Store the wrench inside the base. The wrench size is 6mm.
Level the mount by adjusting the tripod legs. Use the build-in Bubble Level Indicator or an external
level for this purpose.
