◆ATTACHING THE TELESCOPE TUBE TO THE TRIPOD

The telescope optical tube attaches to the tripod by using the mounting bracket on the
bottom of the optical tube and the mounting platform of the tripod. Before starting make sure
all of the knobs on the tripod are locked.
1. Remove the protective paper covering the optical tube.
2. Loosen the top right knob (Figure 7) by turning it counter-
clockwise.This allows you to tilt the tripod platform up 90° as
shown in Figure 8. After tilting the platform up, tighten the
knob to secure it in place.
3. Figure 9 shows the bottom of the optical tube, the tripod
platform, and where they will attach to each other.
4. Under the center of the tripod platform, you will see a knob
(Figure 9) that contains a ¼ x 20 screw to attach the platform
to the telescope optical tube.
5. You can put the ¼ x 20 screw into the threaded holes of the
SV501P (it doesn't matter which one you use) in the mount-
ing bracket of the telescope optical tube whereas Hold the
optical tube with one hand while threading the screw clock-
wise until tight with the other hand. Now the assembly will
look like Figure 10.
6. Lastly, loosen the knob for the tripod platform and lower the
platform down to the level position. Then, tighten the knob
securely.
