Operating Instructions Addendum Alternate Tray Assembly For use with Meade NG/NGC Series Telescopes Introduction Introduction Some NGC/NG models are now shipped with a third style tray. The third style assembles with a round accessory tray. Assembly · Use the provided 3 short screws, 3 washers and 3 bolts to attach the round accessory tray to the tripod. You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver to perform this assembly. Line up one of the leg braces (see Fig. A) between the opening of one of the tripod leg brace supports on the tripod so that a screw will be able to pass through both the holes of the leg brace support and holes of the leg brace. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, thread one of the short screws through the holes. Place a washer on the other end, followed by the matching nut. Tighten to a firm feel. Repeat this procedure until all 3 leg braces are mounted on the 3 leg brace supports. See Fig. A. · To attach the accessory tray to the leg braces, place the round accessory tray over the mounting bolt hole (Fig. B). Thread the bolt on the bottom of the accesory tray into the the mounting bolt hole (Fig. B) and turn the tray clockwise (Fig. C). Tighten to a firm feel, but do not overtighten-- you will need to remove the tray if you wish to collapse the tripod. To remove the tray, just rotate the tray counterclockwise. You can then lift and remove the tray. Fig. B: Mounting bolt hole.
