Adjusting the Mount for Very High

The EQ head can be set on the tripod in three different
positions These three positions can also be used to optimize
the balance over the tripod The mount ships in the center
position which works for latitudes between 20-55º If you
wish to use the mount at latitudes below 20º, shift the
mount forward, if you wish to use above 55º, shift the
mount backward
1 Remove the head from the tripod by removing the 3
socket-head screws
2 Carefully remove the 8 socket head screws located under
the head Once they are removed, the altitude adjustment
mechanism will be the only thing securing the bottom
plate of the EQ head
3 Turn the altitude adjuster knob until the threaded holes on
the bottom of the mount align with the new set of holes
on the bottom plate Shift the plate forward (towards
the counterweight shaft side) if you wish to use at lower
latitudes Shift the plate backward (towards the altitude
adjustment knob) if you wish to use at higher latitudes
