assembly
This section covers the assembly instructions for your Travel
Telescope. Your telescope should be set up indoors the first
time so that it is easy to identify the various parts and familiarize
yourself with the correct assembly procedure before
attempting it outdoor.
The Travel Scope 60 comes in one box. The pieces in the box are
– telescope optical tube with finderscope attached, tripod, erect
image diagonal, 20 mm eyepiece, 8 mm eyepiece and 3x Barlow
Lens all packed in the travel backpack.
setting up the tripod
1. The tripod comes preassembled so that the set up
is very easy.
2. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs outward until
each leg is fully extended.
3. You can raise the tripod legs to the height you desire. At the
lowest level, the height is about 16” (41 cm) and extends to
about 49” (125 cm).
4. To raise the height of the tripod, unlock the tripod leg lock
clamps at the bottom of each tripod leg by opening the
clamp for each section and pulling outward. Once a clamp is
unlocked, pull the tripod leg out as far as it will go and then
close the leg lock to secure it. Continue doing this for each
tripod leg and each section to raise the height to the level you
desire. With all the legs raised up on all sections, the height
will be about 42” (107 cm).
5. If you want to raise the tripod height up further, you must
use the central column locking knob. Turn the locking knob
counterclockwise until loose. Then, pull up on the head of the
tripod and the central column will move up. Continue pulling
to the height you desire and then tighten the locking knob.
When the central column is raised up as far as it will go, then
the maximum height possible is achieved – 49” (125 cm).
