INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING

1.

Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Telescope and its acces-
sories.  Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken
parts, wet or dirty parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe opera-
tion.  If a problem occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.

2.

When cleaning:  The Telescope is a precision optical instrument and should be
kept away from dust and moisture.  Should the lenses become dirty, blow off the
dust particles before cleaning the lenses.  Then, clean the lenses gently with a
moistened lens tissue.  The lenses should not be taken apart, and the surface of
the lenses should be kept free of finger smudges.  The exterior of the Telescope
may be cleaned with a clean cloth and, if necessary, a mild detergent.  Do not
use any solvents.  Do not immerse any part of the Telescope in any liquids.

3.

When storing:  Keep the Telescope in a dry, dust free location out of reach of
children.  Avoid sudden temperature fluctuations as the moisture in the air will
condense on the Objective Lens (1).  Should this happen, place the Objective
Lens not too close to a source of heat, and allow the moisture to evaporate
slowly.

4.

All maintenance, service, or repairs not listed in this manual are only to be
attempted by a qualified technician.
