3. HEM27 Mount Assembly
NOTE: The HEM27 mount is a precision astronomical instrument. It is highly recommended that you
read the entire manual and become familiar with the nomenclature and function of all components
before starting the assembly.
Step 1. Set up tripod
The mount has a 102mm base. Thread the Alignment Peg onto the tripod head, on top of a tripod
leg or between two legs depending on the latitude. Insert the Accessory Tray through the center rod and
secure the setup by tightening Locking Knob from underneath.

Step 2. Attach mount head
Remove the mount from the package. Retract the 2x Azimuth (Azi) Adjustment Screws from both
sides to leave ample space for the alignment peg to be fitted in between the 2x Azi Adjust. Screws. Remove
the 2x Azi Locking Screws from the mount base and insert them into the opening next. Secure the mount
head by tightening the Azi Locking Screws into the M6 holes on the tripod. An Allen wrench is stored in the
EQ base if needed.
