ORION 55026 EQ-13 Equatorial Telescope Mount and Tripod
ADDENDUM
This is an addendum to the instruction manuals
IN 672 for
Orion® EQ-13 Equatorial Telescope Mount and Tripod
(#55026)
and IN 153 Rev D for
Orion® SpaceProbeTM 130mm EQ Equatorial Newtonian
Reflector Telescope (#9007)
Since publication of the instruction manuals noted above, a change has been
made to these two products. The mount attachment knob which is labeled “E”
in Figure 1 of the manual for the EQ-13 mount is now installed in the
tripod mounting platform at the factory rather than needing to be installed by
the user. In addition, the washer, which is also labeled “E” in Figure 1
of the manual for the EQ-13 mount, is no longer included as it is not needed.
Figure 1 of the manual for the SpaceProbe 130mm EQ shows the mount
attachment knob correctly installed under the tripod mounting platform,
without washer.
Accordingly, section 3 of “Part II: Assembly” in the instruction manual for
the EQ-13 Mount and section 3 of “Part III: Assembly” in the manual for the
SpaceProbe 130mm have been revised as follows:
3. Now you will attach the equatorial mount (B) to the tripod. Place the base of the mount onto the tripod’s mounting platform, and then simply thread the captive mount attachment knob under the tripod clockwise up into the mount until it is tight (Figure 3).
Please make note of this change.
