The Top Assembly

2.Install the thumbscrew and nut shown in image 2. Tighten it until it touches the other side, then tighten it another 1-2mm.

3.Install the secondary cell tab using an M4 nut and a 10mm screw. Keep it loose so the secondary mirror can be installed.

4.Install the secondary mirror.
1. a.Single-use gloves are recommended for this step to avoid fingerprints on the mirror. With or without gloves, avoid touching the mirror surface.
2. b.Place the mirror in its recess and make sure it is fully seated.
3. c.Press the tab firmly against the mirror with one hand while using the Allen key in your other hand to tighten the tab's screw.
4. d.Try to move the mirror to make sure it is held firmly. It should not move.

5.Cover the mirror cell with one of the velvet bags to keep the mirror clean during the next steps.

1.From the front of the spider, install these parts through the center hole.
1. a.M6x35 screw.
2. b.Spider knob.
3. c.Two 18mm washers.
2.On the other side of the spider, add these parts onto the screw.
1. a.19mm washer.
2. b.AXK bearing.
3. c.Another 19mm washer.
3.Tighten the spider knob until the secondary cell turns only when you turn the knob, with firm friction and no free play.
4.Put the velvet bag over the secondary cell so the mirror stays clean for the rest of the assembly.
5.Insert the nuts into the pockets at the ends of the spider arms.

1.Install a screw and nut in each knob.
2.Fit the rubber bands onto the knobs.
3.Slide the knobs onto the shaft until fully seated, then tighten the screws to clamp them in place.

1.Place a bearing in one of the bearing pocket on the base.
2.Insert the M4 screw through the bearing and into the opposite side of the pocket.
3.Tighten the screw into the plastic until the screw lip seats in place.
4.Check that the bearing still spins freely.
5.Repeat for the other bearings.

1.Install the thumbscrew and captive nut in the focuser tube.
2.For each rail, peel off the double-sided tape backing and place the rail on the tube.
3.Align each rail with the shallow groove in the tube.
4.Press each rail firmly for a few seconds so the tape bonds well.
5.Do not worry about the tape strength. It only needs to hold the rails during assembly, the pressure from the bearing will keep them in place.

Focuser bridge	1
PTFE piece	1

1.Cut a 1.5 cm by 0.8 cm piece from the PTFE sheet.
2.Peel off the backing and stick the PTFE piece into the recess on the bridge.
3.Use the long shaft of the Allen key to press it down firmly so it takes the shape of the recess.

1.Insert an M4 nut into the top pocket in the base. From the other side, thread the thumbscrew through the focuser bridge and the knob into the nut.
2.Add the lower thumbscrew and nut the same way. Tighten both thumbscrews only enough to keep the assembly from falling apart.
3.Slide the focuser tube into the base. The thumbscrew should fit into the pocket in the base so the tube can reach all the way down.
4.Tighten the bridge thumbscrews until the tube moves smoothly when you turn the knob, even while pressing down on the tube.

1.Insert the M4 nut into its pocket, then thread the thumbscrew into it.
2.Insert the two M4 screws that will later attach the mount to the top assembly.

Part	Qty
Red dot finder	1

1.First, flip the finder on its stem so the small tab sits at the front. This helps keep the finder from sliding off its mount. The first image shows the correct orientation versus the incorrect one.
1. a.Loosen the two side screws on the finder just enough to slide the base off.
2. b.Flip the base so the side with the small tab faces forward.
3. c.Slide the base back into the finder and tighten the two side screws.
2.Install the battery in the compartment at the front.

1.Insert the two nuts and screws into their pockets in the tube slot. Repeat for all three sides.

2.Attach the finder mount to the accessory rail with the recessed side facing up.

4.Mount the focuser assembly with four M4 nuts. Face the handle away from the tube slot near the focuser, as shown.

6.Install the nut and screw for the light shield, then install the light shield.
