Locate the counterweight bar and

counterweight. Slide the counterweight half

way down the counterweight bar and tighten

the locking screw to secure in place.

Thread the threaded end of the counterweight

bar into the Dec axis of the equatorial mount.

The longer cable should attach to the Right

Ascension axis and the shorter cable attaches

to the Declination axis..

Properly assembled, the slow motion controls

should appear as pictures above. You should be

able to see the mount move when you turn the

cable knobs.

Remove the wingnuts from the bottom of each

tube ring.
