Congratulations on your purchase of a high-quality Levenhuk telescope!

These instructions will help you set up, properly use, and care for your telescope. Please read them 

thoroughly before getting started.

CAUTION! Never look directly at the Sun – even for an instant – through your telescope or finderscope without a 

professionally made solar filter that completely covers the front of the instrument, or permanent eye damage 

may result. To avoid damage to the internal parts of your telescope, make sure the front end of the finderscope 

is covered with aluminum foil or another non-transparent material. 

Children should use the telescope under adult supervision only.

All parts of the telescope will arrive in one box. Be careful when unpacking it. We recommend keeping 

the original shipping containers. In the event that the telescope needs to be shipped to another loca-

tion, having the proper shipping containers will help ensure that your telescope survives the journey 

intact. Make sure all the parts are present in the packaging. Be sure to check the box carefully, as 

some parts are small. No tools are needed other than those provided. All screws should be tightened 

securely to eliminate flexing and wobbling, but be careful not to overtighten them, as that may strip 

the threads.

During assembly (and anytime, for that matter), do not touch the surfaces of the optical elements 

with your fingers. The optical surfaces have delicate coatings on them that can easily be damaged if 

touched. Never remove lenses or mirrors from their housing, or the product warranty will be null and 

void.

Tripod assembly

• 

Slowly loosen the tripod locking knobs and gently pull out the lower section of each tripod leg. 

Tighten the screws to hold the legs in place. 

• 

Spread the tripod legs apart to stand the tripod upright. 

• 

Adjust the height of each tripod leg until the tripod head is properly leveled. Note that the 

tripod legs may not be the same length when the mount is leveled.

• 

Place the accessory tray on top of the bracket, and secure it with thumbscrews from under-

neath.

Diagonal mirror and eyepiece assembly

Refractors:

 Loosen the focuser thumbscrew. Insert the diagonal mirror into the focuser tube and re-

tighten the thumbscrew to hold the diagonal mirror in place. Then insert the desired eyepiece into the 

diagonal mirror and secure it by retightening the thumbscrew.

Reflectors:

 Loosen the focuser thumbscrew. Take off the plastic cap from the eyepiece tube. Insert the 

selected eyepiece and secure it by retightening the thumbscrew. 

Optical finderscope assembly and alignment

Unthread two screws in the back of the telescope tube. Place the finderscope base above the holes on 

the tube. Lock the finderscope base into position by tightening the screws. (refractor     , reflector     )

Optical finderscopes are very useful accessories. When they are correctly aligned with the telescope, 

objects can be quickly located and brought to the center of the view. 

Turn the scope end in and out to adjust focus.

Telescope assembly (models with fork mount)

• 

Remove the locking screw from the slow-motion control rod.

• 

Insert the rod into the hole on the side of the fork mount.

• 

Place the telescope tube between fork arms so that holes on the tube match the arm holes. Fas-

ten the telescope tube to the mount with thumbscrews.

• 

Fasten the other end of the rod to the telescope tube by inserting the screw through shaft and 

tube holes and tightening it.
