Figure 4a &4b. Next we will apply the two felt strips on
the inside of the focuser housing. Peel back the felt to reveal
the adhesive and press gently to adhere to the inside. You
will want to place them on opposite sides. Placement of the
strips does not have to be precise – as long as the two strips
are roughly facing each other the tube will be stabilized in the
housing.
Figure 5. Replace the
drawtube by inserting
it into the focuser
housing until it is fully
seated (as shown in
Figure 2).
Figure 6. Take the new focus knob shaft assembly included in
this kit and place it on the focuser. Be sure the rack and pinon
gears are aligned. Next, place the at spring over the shaft so
that the curved portion bends inward as shown in the image
above. If the at spring is placed backwards you will not be able
to re-install the cover plate as described in the next step.
Reseat the cover plate and re-tighten the Phillips head screws
in reverse of step one. It is recommended to alternate the
screws you are tightening every couple of turns to ensure they
are equally tightened.
