1. Slide the accessory tray over the central rod so that the three cup indents are pushing against the inside of the tripod legs.
2. Thread the accessory tray knob on to the central rod and tighten.
To transport your tripod, remove the knob and lower the accessory tray far enough to rotate it until the three recesses line up
with each leg. Collapse the legs so that each leg falls into one of the recesses. Secure the legs together with the nylon strap
attached to the tripod leg.

Before the equatorial mount head can be installed, the electronics pier must be attached to the tripod. To attach the pier:
1. Position the electronics pier so that the electronics
module is right side up (with the printing readable).
2. Place the bottom of the pier over the tripod head.
3. Rotate the column until the three holes line up with
the threaded holes on the side of the tripod head. The
pier should be positioned so that the motor ports
(labeled RA and DEC) are on the east side of the
mount. (see figure 2-4)
4. Insert the three 3/8-16 Allen head screws and washers
provided through the holes in the electronics pier and
into the tripod head.
5. Tighten the screws to hold the column securely in
place.

After the tripod is set up, you are ready to attach the equatorial
mount. The equatorial mount is the platform to which the
telescope attaches and allows you to move the telescope in
right ascension and declination. To attach the equatorial mount
to the tripod:
1. Insert the base of the equatorial mount into the top of
the electronics pier.
2. Rotate the equatorial mount on the electronics pier
until the holes in the mount line up with those in the
pier and the DEC opening (where the counterweight shaft will go) is positioned directly over the north tripod leg.
3. Insert the three remaining 3/8-16 screws and washers provided through the holes in the electronics pier and into the
equatorial mount.
4. Tighten the screws to hold the equatorial mount in place.
