The datum mount has a handle for rotating and locking the whole assembly over the cowl and
onto the Excel unit's body.
Before tightening the datum mount the telescope can be rotated to a convenient viewing
position.
To remove the telescope assembly reverse the following mounting procedure.
(a) Align the telescope's two datum mount bayonet slots with the two locating pins
on the cowl of the unit as shown.
(b) Push the telescope datum mount fully home onto the two pins on the cowl.
(c) Without disturbing the datum mount use one hand to rotate the telescope to a
comfortable viewing position and hold it in that position.
A horizontal viewing position is the easiest to interpret.
