2. Install the accessory tray on the tripod as shown in Fig. 1.1a .
3. Attach the extension pier onto the tripod tightly with the locking bolt on the tripod head.
4. Remove the mounting head on the extension pier by loosen the 3 small locking screws.
5. Attach the SolarQuest mount to the mounting head tightly with the locking knob.
6.
Place the mounting head onto the extension pier and fix it with the 3 locking screws.

of a Skywatcher tripod ensures that the tripod legs are firmly expanded, which prevents the tripod from accidentally tipping over. When using the SolarQuest mount on a Skywatcher tripod, an accessory tray should always
be used to ensure stability.
PART I: Setting up the SolarQuest Mount
1.2  Attaching the SolarQuest to a Camera Tripod
1. Fully expand the three legs of the tripod on leveled ground. Make sure that the tripod is stable.
2. Raise the camera tripod’s central pole to the height which prevents the solar telescope from hitting the tripod legs when the telesocpe points to zenith.
3. Screw the SolarQuest mount to the 3/8” bolt on the tripod head’s mounting  plate, tighten SLIGHTLY . Caution : Over-tightening the mount may cause damage to the internal mechanical parts.
4. Most camera tripods’ mounting plate comes with 1 to 3 locking screws, firmly tighten the locking screws from underneath the plate to fix the SolarQuest mount onto the mounting plate.
5. Adjust the lengths of the legs to center the bubble level on the mount. 1. Press the power button until the red LED light is on.
2. The solar telescope will be moved to horizontal position automatically in several seconds.
3. Slide the 8-way switch to one direction and then press the power button, the SolarQuest  will slew quickly.
4. Slide the 8-way switch alone to one direction to move the SolarQuest slowly for fine cen -tering the Sun in the field of view of an eyepiece.
5. To turn off the power, press and hold the power button for several seconds until the red LED light is off.
Warning: Always adjust the SolarQuest mount with the internal motor drive and the 8-way switch. Forcing the SolarQuest to rotate manually might cause dam-ages to the internal mechanical parts.
1.5  Test Run
1. Open the battery compartment cover and pull out the battery holder.
2. Make sure the battery cable connects to the holder before inserting batteries to the slots.
3. Insert 8 “AA“ size batteries to the battery holder. Refer to the battery marks of each slot while inserting the batteries.
4. Place the battery holder back to the compartment gently and closer the cover.
Note: For the safety of your equipment , remove the batteries from SolarQuest if it will not be used for a long time.
1.4  Installing Batteries
1. Loosen the dovetail locking knob until nothing is obstructing the groove in the saddle.
2.  Slide the dovetail bar on the solar telescope into the dovetail groove of the saddle.
3.  Tighten the dovetail locking knob. DO NOT LET GO OF THE SOLAR TELESCOPE UNTIL YOU ARE SURE IT IS FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE SADDLE
4.  Fully insert the diagonal mirror to the drawtube of the solar telescope with the eyepiece holder pointing up straightly, fix it in place with the two locking screws.
5. Insert an eyepiece to the eyepiece holder and fix it in place with the locking screws.1.3  Installing the Solar Telescope
