STOP!!!
Carefully read this Guide BEFORE setting up and using the equipment! Worm
system damage due to user operation error will not be covered by warranty.
WARNING: Never disengage Gear Switches without holding the mount firmly! Personal injury
and/or equipment damage may happen.
1.
Remove mount head from package
: Check the DEC
Gear Switch and make sure it is at the unlock position
before removing it from the box.
2.
Set up tripod
: Setup and level the tripod. Adjust the
tripod height. Tighten tripod locking knob to secure
the tripod. The mount has a 102mm base. Thread the
Alignment Peg
onto the tripod head, on top of a
tripod leg or between two legs depending on the
latitude.
3.
Attach mount head:
Retract the 2x Azimuth (Azi)
Adjustment Screws from both sides to leave ample
space for the alignment peg to be fitted in between
the 2x Azi Adjustment Screws. Remove the 2x Azi
Locking Screws from the mount base. Secure the
mount head by tightening the Azi Locking Screws into
the M6 holes on the tripod. There is an Allen wrench
stored on the mount base for tightening the screws
or adjusting the latitude.
Level the mount by adjusting the tripod legs. Use the
build-in Bubble Level Indicator or an external leveler
for this purpose.
4.
Adjust latitude:
Without any payload, slightly loosen
the 4x Latitude Locking Screws. Use the Latitude
Adjustment Knob to set the correct latitude value, as
displayed in the Latitude Mark Window. Insert the
Allen wrench into the Latitude Adjustment Knob for
more turning torque.
Two latitude ranges, 15~41° and 39~65°, can be set
up for the mount head. To change the latitude range
from one to the other,
both
the Latitude Position Bolt
and the Latitude Locking Screws need to be moved to
the correct locations.
