Bresser AR102S f/4.5 Refractor Kit
Assembly & Instructions
Now that all of the parts are removed from their boxes lets start the assembly process.
1. Take the Tripod & Head Assembly and spread the legs apart. Then loosen the
Locking Knobs and extend the bottom legs all the way out and retighten so the
knobs are firm.
2. Now that the tripod is fully extended and the legs are spread apart take the
accessory tray and place it in the center of the spreader bars that are attached to
the legs. There are three small slots that you must match the holes up on the tray.
Once they’re matched up turn the tray right or left to tighten.
3. The next piece that attaches to the tripod is the Altitude/Azimuth Mount. There
is a large locking knob underneath the mount that must be removed. Once
removed, place the mount onto the top of the tripod head and replace the locking
knob from underneath and tighten to make the mount snug. Do not over tighten.
4. On the top of the mount there is a Dovetail locking knob. Back it out until it
is out of the dovetail but, not out of the mount. On the Optical Tube there is a
dovetail located on the right side. Place it into the mount and tighten the knob
until it’s tight.
Note: Center the dovetail on the mount for better balance
5. Remove the plastic cap that is in the 1.25" hole in the top of the focuser and
insert the Bresser 1.25" 20mm eyepiece. Snug the three silver colored knobs to
hold the eyepiece in place but do not over-tighten.
*A Finder Bracket comes standard with the telescope but, the Finderscope does not. A Finderscope
is an option and can be purchased at a later date.
WARNING!!
Never point your telescope at the Sun! Instant and irreversible eye damage
can can result.
