legs to Altazimuth Yoke Mount, make sure the Accessory Tray Braces(7)
face inward. Locate the long bolts and washers from the hardware
pack (3-2_”bolts, 6-

/16 washers and 3-wingnuts). Position the mount over the
Tripod Leg (5) as shown (fig. 1). and align the holes in the Tripod Leg
with the holes in the mount. Insert the bolts through the holes at the
top of a Tripod Leg. A washer should be positioned on both outer
sides of the Tripod Leg. Attach a wing nut to the bolt but do not
tighten it all the way. Repeat on the remaining two Tripod Legs. Once
you have attached all Tripod Legs to the mount, securely tighten all
wing nuts.
Locate the Accessory Tray (8). Using the accessory tray bolts, wingnuts and washers ( 3-_” bolts, 6-_
washers and 3 - wingnuts) connect the Accessory Tray to the Accessory Tray Braces (7). Start with one Tripod
Leg and attach wingnut. Wingnuts should be positioned beneath the Accessory Tray. Do not tighten
wingnuts until all Accessory Tray Braces are attached as some adjustments may be required.
