Assembling Your C4.5
Used to balanced the telescope, the counterweight bar attaches to the oppo-
site side of the mount as the telescope. To install the counterweight bar:
1. Retract the counterweight bar lock nut by turning it counterclockwise.
This will expose the threads on the end of the counterweight bar.
2. Thread the counterweight bar into the mount completely. Once again, it
threads into the mount opposite the telescope mounting platform (see
figure 2-8).
3. Tighten the lock nut fully for added support.
The counterweight bar is now installed. The counterweight is installed and
needs only be adjusted for proper balance. For more information, see the
section on “Balancing the Telescope in R.A.”
