Before attaching your telescope to the wedge, you may wish to
first adjust the wedge to the proper latitude. To do so:
1. Loosen the two latitude locking screws (located on the side of
the wedge) that secure the tilt plate. (See Figure 2).

1. Lay the telescope on its side and locate the three threaded
holes in the bottom of the drive base.
2. Partially thread one of the 3/8"-16 bolts into the hole closest
to the fork arm with a handle. Rotate the telescope base if
necessary to align the fork arm with the closest hole.
3. Pick the telescope up by the fork arm and the base, and
position it above the wedge.
4. Slide the bolt into the slotted hole at the top of the tilt plate.
You are now ready to attach the telescope to the wedge.

5. Tighten the bolt slightly so that the bottom of the telescope
base is flush to the tilt plate. Do not tighten it fully or you will
not be able to move the base enough to insert the two
remaining bolts.
6. Move the base of the telescope until the two remaining
holes in the base line up with the holes in the tilt plate on the
wedge. The raised feet on the bottom of the telescope base
should drop into the recesses on the wedge tilt plate.
7. Insert the bolts and tighten all three completely.
