Meade ngc-60 Operating Guide

Some NGC/NG models are now shipped with a third style tray.
The third style assembles with a round accessory tray.

•

Use the provided 3 short screws, 3 washers and 3 bolts
to attach the round accessory tray to the tripod. You will
need a Phillips-head screwdriver to perform this
assembly. 

•

Line up one of the leg braces (see 

Fig. A) between the

opening of one of the tripod leg brace supports  on the
tripod so that a screw will be able to pass through both the
holes of the leg brace support and holes of the leg brace. 

Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, thread one of the short
screws through the holes. Place a washer on the other
end, followed by the matching nut. Tighten to a firm feel.
Repeat this procedure until all 3 leg braces are mounted
on the 3 leg brace supports. See 

Fig. A.

•

To attach the accessory tray to the leg braces, place the
round accessory tray over the mounting bolt hole 

(Fig. B).

Thread the bolt on the bottom of the accesory tray into the
the mounting bolt hole 

(Fig. B) and turn the tray clockwise 

(Fig. C). Tighten to a firm feel, but do not overtighten—
you will need to remove the tray if you wish to collapse the
tripod. To remove the tray, just rotate the tray
counterclockwise. You can then lift and remove the tray.
