Assembly
Unpack all of the contents and follow these steps to
assemble your mount. If you purchased the CGX-L by itself,
the kit includes one 22lbs counterweight. If you purchased
the CGX-L with a large optical tube, more weights may be
included to achieve balance.
Note: The included 8mm Allen wrench is contained under
the rear handle of the mount as shown in Figure 1.1.
Setup the Tripod
1. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs apart
until each leg is fully extended.
2. Remove the Tripod Support Nut and Washer from
the central column attached to the top of the tripod
(Figure 1.2).
3. Place the accessory tray over the central column so
that each of the three arms of the tray is supporting
a tripod leg.
4. Thread the nut and washer back onto the threaded column
and firmly tighten into place. The accessory tray should not
be able to move against the tripod.
5. Adjust the height of the tripod by loosening the lock levers
on the end of each tripod leg. Then adjust the leg height
as needed and retighten the lock levers, one leg at a time.
Attach the Mount to the Tripod
1. Place the head onto the tripod so that it seats securely
into the mating surface.
2. For best stability, orient the mount so that the counter-
weight shaft is directly over a tripod leg as shown in
Figures 1.1 and 1.2. Note that you can orient the mount
so the counterweight shaft is between two of the tripod
legs (which can be useful in low latitudes), allowing the
counterweights to have more clearance from the tripod.
3. Using the captive 8mm Allen wrench (Figure 3), tighten
the 3 attachment bolts onto the mount.
