Remove the mount transport handle (if
installed) and place the mount arm in the
position shown on the left picture, unlock the
declination knob and rotate the axis until the
female dovetail saddle is horizontal. Firmly
lock both the axis knobs
.
Firmly keep the OTA
and insert its male dovetail plate into the
female saddle, making sure that the side closer
to the ground goes in first, as shown in the
picture.
While holding the telescope with one hand, use
your other hand to rotate the knob on the
dovetail saddle clamp, as shown in the right
picture, until it is firmly locked.
Before leaving the telescope, be sure it has
been securely attached by making certain that
the male dovetail bar is in close contact with
the female saddle and there is no space
between them.
Test the saddle’s locking knobs as well as the
RA and DEC clutch levers to make sure they
are tight
