Step 3
Remove the Declination Box Panel
Remove the Dec box panel on the East side of the mount (see XFigure 36X).
This requires removing seventeen screws:
Eleven 1/2-in. flat socket cap screws surrounding the Dec panel
(numbers 1-11 in XFigure 36X).
Six socket head cap screws (12-17 in XFigure 36X) along the “top” of this
panel.
Use the short end of the 1/8-in. Allen wrench that is provided with the mount to
remove the flat socket cap screws. Use the short end of the 3/32-in. Allen
wrench to remove the socket head cap screws.
DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE THREE FLAT SOCKET CAP SCREWS IN
THE CENTER OF THE DEC BOX PANEL. (MARKED WITH A CIRCLED X
BELOW.)
Once all 17 screws are removed, tighten the 5/64-in. socket head cap
screw (number 18 below) to pry the Dec box panel away. The panel
should sufficiently separate from the Dec box with a few turns of this
screw so that you can remove the panel.
