Your130EQ includes: Stainless steel tripod finders -cope, finder scope case. equatorial mount,3pieces inverting eyepiece, 1 erecting eyepiece, 3Xbarlow lens ,2 counter weights, counter weight bar,2slow motion cables, accessory tray.
To set up the tripod ,spread the legs outward until they are fully extended. Extend the center portion of each of the three tripod lens down 6-12″.
Use the three tightening screws located at the bottom of each leg to secure the extended legs in place.
All three legs should be the same length to provide a level platform for the telescope.
To attach the accessory tray. line up notches and turn clockwise until tray tabs lock into place with the tripod brackets. Properly assembled the accessory tray should appear as pictured above .
Locate the equatorial mount and place the base of the mount through the hole in the center of the tripod mounting platform.
From underneath the tripod mounting platform, thread the mounting nut into the threaded hole on the bottom of the equatorial mount.
Thread the latitude adjustment screw into the Put the counterweight bar through! the hole in equatorial mount until the screw is touching the the center of counterweight. inside of the mount.
Put the counterweight bar through! the hole in equatorial mount until the screw is touching the the center of counterweight.
Tighten the threaded end of counterweight bar into the equatorial mount. The 2 counterweights need to be installed on130EQ telescope .
As picture show: loosen hard screw1 adjust the 2 counterweights on the right to make main barrel and counterweights balance and tighten the hard screw2.
Slide the chrome end of the slow motion control cable and tighten the screw.
Assemble another slow motion control cable.
Tighten the set screw.
Place the telescope tube on the equatorial mount so that the tube is facing forward as pictured above .
