QUICK-START GUIDE

It is recommended that you attach the supplied tripod to the LX90 for observing. Perform the telescope and AutoStar

setup indoors in the light so that you become familiar with the parts and operation before moving the telescope

outside into the dark for observing.

1. Remove the field tripod from the shipping carton.

Stand the tripod vertically with the tripod feet

down and with the tripod still fully collapsed.

Grasp two of the tripod legs and, with the full

weight of the tripod on the third leg, gently pull the

legs apart to a fully open position.

3. Remove the threaded rod (see above figure) from

the tr

ipod head.

A small piece of plastic holds the

threaded rod in place. Remove the small plastic

bag that is stapled to the threaded rod. This bag

contains the "C" clip retainer and an extra clip.

2. Thread in two lock-knobs on each leg (six total)

near the foot of each tripod leg. Use the lock-

knobs to vary the height of the inner, extendible

tripod leg sections. Tighten the locks to a firm feel

only; do not overtighten.

4. Remove the spreader bar (see above figure) from

the shipping carton. Slide the spreader bar onto

the threaded rod and position the rod back

through the tripod head. Place the "C" clip into the

slot in the threaded rod – this clip holds the

threaded rod in place. Position the spreader bar so

that its three arms line up with the three tripod

legs.

Take the LX90 from its packaging and place the

entire telescope onto the top of the tripod head,

inserting the threaded rod into the central hole in

the bottom of the dr

e base of the telescope

Tighten the tension knob (see abo

ve figure) to a

firm feel only; firm tightening of the tension knob is

sufficient to result in rigid positioning of the tripod

legs.
