Take the front front support (
10
) and put it on the 4 screws closing it with 4 bolts (1 for each screw) and 4 washers
(one for each screw).
Loosen the two mount clutches (the ones of of Right Ascension and Declination) and point the antenna to the ver-
tical (the parable will "look" upwards).
Attention: at this point of installation, the radio telescope is not balanced,
so when you open the clutches it tends to move by itself. Proceed with caution and avoid slides moving by itself.
Close the clutches making sure that the antenna is stationary.
Now move down the counterweights (
14
) of Right
Ascension axis to better counterbalance the weight of the antenna (no need to be precise, unscrew the locking
screw of each counterweight, slide along the counterweight bar and lock towards the end of the bar itself by clo-
sing the same screw lock).
