Disassembling and
Transporting Your C4.5
NOTE:
Storing Your C4.5
Once assembled, your C4.5 telescope can be left set up. The entire unit is
light enough to pick up and carry outside for a casual observing session. If,
however, you want to transport your C45 to a remote observing location,
you must partially disassemble your telescope. To do so:
1. Remove the optical tube from the equatorial mount.
2. Wrap the tube in cloth to prevent it from being scratched or dented.
3. Remove the three wing nuts that hold the accessory tray to the tripod
and pull the tray off of the bracket.
4. Thread the wing nuts back onto the accessory tray to ensure that they do
not get lost.
5. Fold the tripod legs together and you are ready to transport your C4.5
telescope.
The equatorial mount does NOT have to be removed from the tripod if you
are transporting the telescope yourself. However, you may want to remove
the counterweight bar to lighten the mount.
If you are shipping your telescope via a common carrier, you should com-
pletely disassemble the telescope and return all parts to their original ship-
ping container.
When not in use, your Celestron C4.5 can be left fully assembled and set up.
However, all telescope, finder, and eyepiece covers should be put back in
place. This will reduce the amount of dust build-up on the optical surfaces
and reduce the number of times you need to clean the instrument. If you
decide you want to return everything to its original shipping container and
store the parts there, you should still cover all optical surfaces to prevent
dust build-up.
To prevent the tripod legs from warping, keep them oiled with a lemon oil.
Also, when storing the tripod in the original shipping container, make sure
that all the bolts are completely tightened.
