Adjusting the Azimuth Tension The EclipseView Series Telescopes can move in both the horizontal and vertical motions. The tightness of the vertical motion is controlled by adjusting the vertical lock knob (fig. 1, #14). The tension for the horizontal motion is adjusted at the Meade factory. If the adjustment is not to your liking, it is easy to adjust by tightening/loosening one screw (fig. 1, #3). Two wrenches are needed to make the adjustment. One wrench is needed to hold the screw head located at the bottom side of the mount base. The other wrench is placed on the Azimuth Tension Nut (fig. 1, 3) and adjusted as desired. 30 29 BASE TOP BASE BOTTOM
