STEP 6. Balance the Payload

After attaching the scope and accessories, the mount head assembly must be balanced in both

R.A. and DEC axes to ensure minimum stresses on the mount driving mechanism.

CAUTION: The telescope may swing freely when the R.A. or DEC Gear Switch is disengaged.

Always hold on to the mount and/or telescope assembly before releasing the Gear Switches to

prevent it from swinging, which can cause personal injuries and/or equipment damages.

Set the mount at Zero Position. Disengage both RA and DEC gear switches and move the

mount to horizontal position to check balance. Return to Zero Position for balance adjustment. Balance

the DEC axis by moving the scope with accessories back and forth in the mount saddle or within the

scope mounting rings. Balance the assembly in R.A. axis by moving CW along its shaft. Repeat the

process until both DEC and RA axes are balanced.

CAUTION: The balancing process MUST be done with Gear Switch at the total disengaged

position! Otherwise it might damage the worm system.
