Orion 55026 User manual

ADDENDUM

This is an addendum to the instruction manuals

IN 672 for

Orion® EQ-13 Equatorial Telescope Mount and Tripod

(#55026)

and IN 153 Rev D for

Orion® SpaceProbe™ 130mm EQ Equatorial Newtonian

Reflector Telescope (#9007)

Since publication of the instruction manuals noted above, a change has been made

to these two products. The mount attachment knob – which is labeled “E” in Figure 1

of the manual for the EQ-13 mount – is now installed in the tripod mounting platform

at the factory rather than needing to be installed by the user. In addition, the washer,

which is also labeled “E” in Figure 1 of the manual for the EQ-13 mount, is no longer

included as it is not needed. Figure 1 of the manual for the SpaceProbe 130mm

EQ shows the mount attachment knob correctly installed under the tripod mounting

platform, without washer.

Accordingly, section 3 of “Part II: Assembly” in the instruction manual for the EQ-13

Mount and section 3 of “Part III: Assembly” in the manual for the SpaceProbe 130mm

have been revised as follows:

3. Now you will attach the equatorial mount (B) to the tripod. Place

the base of the mount onto the tripod’s mounting platform, and then

simply thread the captive mount attachment knob under the tripod

clockwise up into the mount until it is tight (Figure 3).

Please make note of this change.
