STOP!!! Carefully read this Guide BEFORE setting up and using the equipment!
Worm/gear damages due to improper uses are not covered by warranty.
WARNING: Never disengage Gear Switches without holding the mount firmly! Fail to do so
may result in personal injuries and/or equipment damages.
1. Remove mount head from package: The mount
head is shipped with the R.A. Gear Switch unlocked to
protect the worm/gear system. Turn the Gear Switch
90° clockwise to lock the R.A. gear system before
removing it from the box.
2. Set up Tripod: The tripod top is 120 mm in diameter
with 2x M6 holes 103 mm apart for mounting. Two
additional M6 holes are for the Alignment Peg (the
one right next to one of the legs is for uses at high
latitudes; the other one is for uses at low latitudes).
Thread the Alignment Peg into the correct M6 hole.
Insert the Accessory Tray through the center rod and
secure the setup by tightening Locking Knob from
underneath.
Set up Mount Head: Retract the 2x Azimuth (Azi)
Adjustment Screws from both sides to leave ample
space for the alignment peg to fit in between the 2
Azi Adjustment Screws. Remove the 2x Azi Locking
Screws, with washers, from the mount base. Secure
the mount head by tightening the Azi Locking Screws
into the M6 holes on the tripod. An Allen wrench is
included for convenience.
Level the mount by adjusting the tripod legs. Use the
build-in bubble Level Indicator or an external leveler
for this purpose.
3. Adjust Latitude: Without any payload, slightly loosen
the 4x Latitude Locking Screws. Use the Latitude
Adjustment Knob to set the correct latitude value, as
displayed in the Latitude Mark Window. Insert the
Allen wrench into the Latitude Adjustment Knob for
more turning torque.
Two latitude ranges, 14~44° and 36~68°, can be set
up for the mount head. To change the latitude range
