Instructions for use

Adjusting of the both flanges at the altitude axis:

The altitude axis supports at each end a flange to fit a telescope. It's necessary to adjust this two

flanges together, so the both telescopes can show the same field at sky. For this, one of the flanges (the

left one) can adjust. You will find four small screw's at outside of the flange for Allen key, (2 mm size).

Unscrew this a bit and adjust the scope to the position of the other scope at the right flange/clamp.

Tighten the screw's well – that's all.

Replace of the astro-tripod-socket:

When using a photographic tripod (on traveling for example), you must replace the socket at the bottom

of the mount. Tighten the friction control screw for the azimut axis well and turn-of the socket.

Counterweight's:

As equipment you can support your mount with counterweight bar (20 mm size) at the left flange. If you

use heavy telescopes you better use a second telescope or a counterweight to bring the barycenter of

all more to the center of the mount. This will unstressed the tripod as well and helps to minimize

vibrations. But remember, the mount can use without counterweights up to 8 kg (AYO II) or 14 kg

(AYOdigi II) if your tripod will handle this.

Storage and maintenance:

The handling of the mount is simple and will not take some special attention. When storage the mount

for longer time, it's recommended to unloose the friction brakes.

If you will find some backlash at the altitude axis, you can readjust this as follow: unloose the four

screws at the left flange and lift off. You will find a inner flange with three screws again. Unloose this

screws a bit and turn the flange in a position you will get the right friction / backlash. Tighten the screws

carefully and solid and set the outside flange again. Adjust this flange if necessary.
