Latitude Adjustment
The telescope comes set for mid-range latitudes (30° to
60°).
If you need to set for low range or high range
,
loosen all four latitude lock knobs (2 on each side)
remove the 4 latitude bolts from each side of the
pedestal (8 total) using a supplied hex wrench (see
photo above). The pedestal will now swing freely.
Swing the pedestal so that the bolt portholes match up
with another set of bolt holes on the underneath plate
(there are three sets of bolt holes, one for each latitude
range).
Move the pedestal until it lines up your latitude tick
mark with the indicator on the latitude scale.
Replace and tighten the latitude bolts. Note: If you are
setting for low-range latitude, you will need to replace
only three bolts on each side. There isn't a fourth hole
on either side. Relock latitude locks knobs.
