 Adjusting the CGE Pro for Latitudes Higher Than 42 Degrees
Answer As shipped from the factory, the CGE Pro mount will only adjust to a latitude maximum of about 42 degrees.

If you live at a latitude higher than 42 degrees you will need to change the orientation of the threaded plate the latitude adjustment bolt passes through. 

Remove the scope and counterweights and point the RA axis upwards.  Using a 5mm Allen wrench, remove the four bolts holding the two blocks the threaded plate is mounted on and move the assembly down to the four lower holes.  Put the four bolts back in and tighten everything down.  You may need to slightly loosen the 4 bolts on the top portion of the plate with a 4mm Allen wrench during the process.
