Orion Dob Dolly
#10109
Congratulations on the purchase of the Orion Dob Dolly.
This product was designed so that any Classic, Intelli-
Scope or Goto, Dobsonian telescope ranging from 4.5"
to 10" aperture can be easily moved around and lev-
eled adding more mobility to the Dobsonian telescope.
For Goto Dobs, leveling the base makes the Goto more accurate.
Getting Started
The Dob Dolly is supplied disassembled. Minor assembly is
required.
Dob Dolly parts

Assembling the Dob Dolly
Start by installing the two Non-Directional caster wheels
(Figure 2.). The two Non-Directional caster wheels are located
on the back of the Dob Dolly as shown (Figure 3.) The Dob-
Dolly has pre drilled holes to help positioning and fixing the
caster wheels.

Use a Philips-head screw driver to attach the two Non-
Directional caster wheels. Then attach the Directional
Caster-Wheel. This wheel rotates around itself and it
will allow the Dob Dolly to steer in different directions.
The directional caster wheel is attached to the Dob Dolly in the
open position nearest the Orion logo.
Installing the Levelers
Place the leveler in the upright position as (Figure 2.) Thread
the three levelers so that the leveler’s plastic foot is not touch-
ing the ground when the Dob Dolly is on the floor (Figure 4.).
The levelers should be up when moving the Dob Dolly, to avoid
it from hitting any object close to the ground.
As soon as the telescope is moved to a suitable observing
position lower the levelers. They should touch the ground. This
will allows the Dob Dolly not to move and can be used to level
the telescope base if necessary.
Warning: Do not Step onto the Dob Dolly, it is not meant
to support the weight of a person.
Warning: The Dob Dolly was not designed to be used on
uneven surfaces. The caster wheels are made from soft
rubber that can be damaged if used in rough surfaces.
Caution: Do not leave a telescope on the Dob Dolly with
the levelers in the up position on a non-level surface –
you don’t want your Dobsonian to wander!
