short one. Unlock Latitude Locking T-bolts on both
sides, do not losen the washers. Unscrew the Locking
Screw on Bottom Latitude Adjustment Post. Replace
the long Latitude Adjustment Knob with a short one.
Thread in the Top and Bottom Latitude Adjustment
Posts and make sure they are fully threaded in.
Reinstall and tighten the bottom locking screw. Insert
the Latitude Locking T-bolts into the upper threaded
holes and tighten them, with the washers.

2. Setup tripod: Expand the tripod legs. Adjust the
tripod height by unlocking and re-locking the tripod
legs to desired height. Position the tripod so that the
Alignment Peg faces north, if you are located at
northern hemisphere. If you are located in southern
half, face the Alignment Peg south. Thread the tripod
center rod into the tripod head and install the
Accessory Tray and tread the Tray Locking Knob onto
it. Do not fully tighten the Tray Locking Knob.
The Alignment Peg may be moved to the opposite
position shall the mount hit the tripod leg when used at
a high latitude.

3. Attach the ZEQ25 Mount: Retract the Azimuth
Adjustment Knobs to allow enough clearance for the
Alignment Peg seating in the house. Put the mount
onto the Tripod Head with Azimuth Adjustment Knobs
on top of the Alignment Peg. Turn Center Rod Knob to
secure the mount head onto the tripod. Tighten the
Tray Locking Knob to fully expand the tripod legs and
secure the Accessory Tray. Adjust the tripod legs to
roughly level the mount using the built-in level
indicator.

Slightly loosen the Latitude Locking
T-bolts. Turn Latitude Adjust Knob to adjust the
latitude until the arrow points to your current latitude
on the Latitude Indicator
