ASSEMBLING YOUR TELESCOPE

THE MOUNT

The AstroMaster LT mount and tripod come fully assembled,

so setting it up is easy.

1. Remove the tripod and mount from the box.

2. Loosen the hand knobs at the bottom of each leg and

extend the inner section of the leg to the desired length.

Tighten the knobs to secure the legs, being careful not

to over tighten.

3. Stand the tripod upright and pull the tripod legs apart

until the center brace snaps into place.

Place the accessory tray on top of the center brace line

up the keyed hole in the center. Rotate the tray until the

tabs at the three points of the tray snap into the holders

on each arm of the tripod’s center brace.

MOVING THE MOUNT

The AstroMaster LT mount can be moved by hand using

the panning handle. To adjust the up and down angle of

the mount, loosen the altitude clutch by turning the entire

panning handle counterclockwise. Move the mount to the

desired position and lock the clutch to secure the mount in

place by turning the entire panning handle clockwise.

The left and right axis is free spinning and does not

lock down, but the tension can be adjusted to suit your

preference by using the azimuth tension knob on top of the

mount. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the tension and

counterclockwise to loosen it.
