Attaching the Wedge to Your Tripod
The Wedge attaches to your Evolution or SE tripod using the
tripod's 3 captive spring-loaded screws located under the
tripod head. These are the 3 screws which normally attach
to the fork arm assembly of your telescope.
1. Locate the positioning pin in the center of your tripod.
2. Lower the wedge onto the tripod so that the hole underneath
the center of the base plate fits over the tripod positioning
pin. This will allow you to center the wedge on the tripod head.
3. Rotate the wedge until the three registration pads on the
wedge align with the three threaded holes on the tripod head.

Latitude Adjustment
Before attaching your telescope to the wedge, you may wish
to first adjust the wedge to the proper latitude. To do so:
1. Loosen the two latitude locking knobs (located on the side
of the wedge) that secure the tilt plate. (See Figure 2).
2. Use the latitude adjustment knob to move the tilt plate until
the latitude scale indicates the latitude of your location.
3. Tighten the latitude locking screws on the side of the
wedge to secure the tilt plate in place.
Attaching the Telescope to the Wedge
1. Lay the telescope on its side and locate the three threaded
holes in the bottom of the fork arm.
2. Thread the attachment bolt into the hole closest to the fork
arm with a handle. Rotate the telescope base if necessary
to align the fork arm with the closest hole.
3. Pick the telescope up by the fork arm and the base, and
position it above the wedge.
4. Slide the bolt into the slotted hole at the top of the tilt plate.
5. Tighten the bolt slightly so that the bottom of the telescope
base is flush to the tilt plate. Do not tighten it fully or you
will not be able to move the base enough to insert the two
remaining bolts.
6. Move the base of the telescope until the two remaining
holes in the base line up with the holes in the tilt plate on

the wedge. The raised feet on the bottom of the telescope

base should drop into the recesses on the wedge tilt plate.
7. Thread the remaining two attachment bolts which are
captive on the wedge.

Polar Aligning The Wedge
Use the latitude adjustment knob to make final adjustments
to your polar alignment in altitude. Use the azimuth adjustment
knobs to make adjustments to your polar alignment in azimuth.
In order to move your telescope smoothly in azimuth, slightly
loosen the three azimuth plate screws before using the
azimuth adjustment knobs (see Figure 6).
