The adjustment is correct when you can see through the hole in the mechanics at the position

indicated by the green arrow.

Once aligned to the correct pole (horizontal-vertical), drive the two allen or captive screws on

either side of the mechanical washer to reach and secure the nose. Tighten the two height-

locking allen screws previously loosened on the two holes. Tighten the tapl fixing screws.

Replace and screw in the pole cap made of bakelite-like material.

The next step is to install the counterweight shaft.

Screw the counterweight shaft into the mechanism until it is fixed.

Unscrew the "anti-fall" serrated screw (red arrow) at the end of the counterweight shaft to allow

the counterweights to be mounted on the shaft.

Due to the heavy weight of the counterweights, be careful when dropping or putting

them on, they may cause injury!

When installing the counterweights, tighten the counterweight fixing screws with sufficient

torque to ensure that they do not fall off after installation.

After the correct number and weight of counterweights have been installed, always tighten the

"anti-drop" notched screw (marked with a red arrow) properly.

In the next step, place and properly secure the telescope on the platform.

For the long and proper functioning of the mechanism, always balance the payload and

counterweights according to the rules of the trade.
