3.4 Use of equatorial mount
3.4.1 How to adjust the pitch angle from the first gear to the second gear?
Equatorial mount gear introduction:
The pitch angle adjustment of the equatorial mount AM3 is divided into two gears, the first gear
pitch angle range: 0~60°; the second gear pitch angle range: 45°~90°. When the equatorial mount
is in the first gear, the maximum adjustment angle can only reach 60°. You need to use a hex
wrench to loosen the [pitch angle gear adjustment screws] on both sides of the main body, and
then turn the equatorial mount to the second gear (45° position). After completion, tighten the
screws on both sides, and continue to adjust the Pitch Angle Fine-Tuning Knob to 90°. We
recommend you to do this when the mount is not carrying something.
