Step 6.
This step allows you to attach the counterweight or a
second scope. (note: if you have a light scope less than 10
lbs. on the primary side, then attaching a counterweight is not
needed).
First, make sure altitude lock (#13) is tight (see step 5).
Screw the counterbalance arm (#18) into the threaded
hole (#14).
If you are attaching a second scope do not add the
counterweight. Instead, skip to Step 9 to add a
second scope.
Step 7.
Slide the counterweight onto the counterbalance arm
(#18). Next, insert the brass locking rod into the hole on
the counterweight. Note: when tightened this brass rod
should fit into the groove of the arm.
Step 8.
Secure the counterweight by tightening the lock knob.
Again, the counterweight should fit over the groove of
the arm so that the brass rod fits into the groove when
tightened.
Next: Skip to step 10.
This step is for attaching a second scope. Go to steps 7
and 8 if you are attaching the counterweight.
Step 9.
Attach Secondary Dovetail Holder (#16) by tightening
the holder lock (#15) onto the counterweight arm (#18).
After sliding your scope into the dovetail holder—
secure the scope by tightening the secondary lock
(#17).
Refer to the full manual for more details on attaching a second
scope and aligning both scopes together.
Step 10.
Level the mount using the bubble on side of mount by
adjusting the three metal adjusters (see step 2 left
photo). Use the top knob (#6) to make adjustments.
Use the bottom knob (#5) to lock the position.
For later models with star knobs (see step 2 right photo)
adjust knobs until mount is level. Then use #4 Rod to
lock in position.
It is also suggested to use additional levels to assure
very precise level.
