Quick Start Guide

STOP!!! Carefully read this Guide BEFORE setting up and using the equipment! Worm

system damage due to user operation error will not be covered by warranty.

WARNING: Never disengage Gear Switches without holding the mount firmly! Personal injury

and/or equipment damage may happen.

1. Remove mount head from package: The RA axle is

locked by an Allen wrench (blue circle). Make sure it

is inserted all the way in. Check the R.A. and DEC

Gear Switches and make sure they are at the unlock

position before removing it from the box.

2. Set up tripod: The mount has a 102mm base. Thread

the Alignment Peg onto the tripod head, on top of a

tripod leg or between two legs depending on the

latitude. Insert the Accessory Tray through the center

rod and secure the setup by tightening Locking Knob

from underneath.

3. Attach mount head: Before put the mount onto the

tripod, make sure the RA gear switch is at lock

position to prevent mount head free swing by

accident! Retract the 2x Azimuth (Azi) Adjustment

Screws from both sides to leave ample space for the

alignment peg to be fitted in between the 2x Azi

Adjustment Screws. Remove the 2x Azi Locking

Screws from the mount base. Secure the mount head

by tightening the Azi Locking Screws into the M6

holes on the tripod. After tighten the Azi Locking

Screws, store the Allen wrench at the bottom of the

mount altitude support.

Level the mount by adjusting the tripod legs. Use the

build-in Bubble Level Indicator or an external leveler

for this purpose.

4. Adjust latitude: Loosen the Latitude Locking Lever.

Turn Latitude Adj. Knob to adjust the latitude until

the arrow points to the current latitude on the

Latitude Scale. Tighten the Latitude Locking Lever.

[TIP: You may lift the handle by push the button on

this ratchet lever to disengage gear teeth and rotate

freely for quick adjustment.]
