As an alternative to the method described above, The CGE Pro mount can be more easily assembled by one person if the polar
housing axis is installed separately from the latitude side plates. To do this you must first lay the equatorial head on a flat soft
surface and remove the two sections.
1. Remove the latitude indicator from the polar housing.
2. Remove the two bolts that connect the polar housing to the
latitude side plate assembly, and loosen (but do remove) the
two pivot bolts.
3. With the electronics pier securely attached to the tripod, mount
the latitude side plate assembly to the pier as described in the
section above.
4. Before mounting the polar housing, make sure that the RA
locking clutches are secure so that the housing can not rotate
while being installed. Also rotate the latitude adjustment bolt
counterclockwise until only about an inch of thread is
protruding downward.
5. Lift the polar housing section and carefully lower the polar
axis between the side plates (and beneath the latitude
adjustment bolt) until the pivot bolts rest inside the two cut
outs on the side plates.
6. Once seated, attach the two bolts connecting the polar housing
to the side plates.
7. Reattach the latitude indicator from the polar housing.
8. Rotate the latitude adjustment bolt until the angle of the polar
axis approximately matches the latitude of your current
location.

As shipped from the factory, the CGE Pro mount will only adjust to a maximum latitude of about 40 degrees. If using the
mount from a latitude higher than 40 degrees you will need to change the position of the latitude plate and adjustment bolt.
To change the position of the Latitude Plate:
1. Remove the polar housing section from the mount as described in the One Person Installation section above.
2. Use a 5mm Allen wrench to remove the four latitude
plate screws (fig 2-4) from the side plate assembly.
3. Lower the latitude plate until the holes line up with the
lower set of latitude plate holes.
4. Thread the four latitude plate screws back into the
latitude plate.
