Quick Setup Guide

Place the accessory tray on top of the center brace 

and line up the three holes.  Insert the three thumb 

screws through the bottom of the leg brace and 

thread them into the tray.

To attach the slow-motion knobs   to your mount, 

first locate the supplied hex key hidden inside the 

slot in the front of your mount.  

Place the slow-motion control knob over the 

D-shaped gear shaft and push inward to make sure 

it is fully seated. Use the hex key to tighten the 

setscrews onto the gear shaft.  Return the hex key to 

its storage position in the front of the mount.

Hold the telescope tube next to the mount with the 

dovetail bar on the tube facing the clamp on the top 

of the mount arm.  

Slide the dovetail bar into the clamp at the top of 

the mount and tighten the hand knob on the bottom 

of the clamp to secure the telescope in place.

Locate the erect image diagonal and remove the 

plastic covers. Insert the barrel of the diagonal into 

the focuser and secure in place by tightening the set 

screws.

Insert the barrel of the 25 mm eyepiece into the 

diagonal and tighten the set screw.
