To set up the tripod, spread the legs outward until they are fully
extended and push down center leg brace.

Place the eyepiece accessory tray on top of the tripod's center leg
brace. Thread the tray into the threaded hole in the center of the leg
brace until it is fully seated.

From underneath the tripod mounting platform, thread the attached
mounting bolt into the hole on the bottom of the equatorial mount.

Extend the center portion of each of the three tripod legs down about
6 to 12 inches. Use the tightening screw on each leg to secure the
extended leg in place.

If necessary, rotate the accessory tray counterclockwise until
the accessory holes are not covered by the leg brace arms as
shown here.

Look up the approximate latitude of your observing site on the Internet
