2.  Attach the EQ mount: Retract the Azimuth 
Adjustment Knobs (next to the Bubble Level Indicator) 
to allow enough clearance for the Alignment Peg 
seating in the house. Put the mount onto the tripod 
head (or pier top) with bubble level on top of the 
Alignment Peg (Figure 9). Secure the mount head by 
tightening two Azimuth Locking T-bolts (Figure 8). 
Level the mount by adjusting individual tripod leg (or 
pier foot). You may use the build-in Bubble Level 
Indicator or an external torpedo level to check level.

3.  Set the Latitude: Unlock the four R.A. Clutch Screws 
and rotate the mount 180º around the R.A. axis 
(Figure 10) to move the dovetail face upside. Tighten 
the R.A. Clutch Screws. Un-screw the Altitude 
Adjustment Lever from Altitude Adjustment Knob 
(Figure 11). Turn the Latitude Adjustment Knob to 
set your current Latitude, which is displayed in 
Latitude Mark Window. Use the Lever for fine 
adjustments as needed. Always set the latitude 
without the load. 
 
 
 
Figure 10 
If your latitude is between 5º to 40º, set the Latitude 
Adjustment Knob to the lower position. A Latitude 
Safety Block has to be installed (Figure 11)  
If your latitude is between 35º to 70º, take the Latitude 
Safety Block off. Set the Latitude Adjustment Knob to 
the upper position. You should change the position 
before attaching the mount to the tripod head.
