ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This version of the 1200GTO Manual was prepared for the production run of mounts that began shipping in April of 2011.
Most of the information in this manual is applicable to all 1200GTO’s that have been produced. Some of this information
was simply not available when the first 1200GTO’s left our factory back in 1998. This includes information on newer
accessories for the mount that weren’t available for the first production runs. We have also learned a few things through
experience and suggestions from our customers that have improved the content that is available in this manual.
We suggest that all 1200GTO owners adopt this manual for regular guidance with their mounts. The benefits of the
improved information should easily outweigh the minor differences between mounts from earlier production runs and the
current one. There will be a few things like the included serial cable, the GTOCP3 Servo Control Box and the Heavy Duty
Azimuth Adjuster that owners of older mounts will not have. In a similar fashion, owners of brand new mounts should
be aware that some of the photos that were used in this manual are of mounts from earlier production runs. You may
therefore see some slight differences whether you have a brand new mount or an earlier mount, but none of these were
deemed to be of significance.
As always, we highly recommend the Technical Support Section of our Web site for the latest information and for future,
updated versions of this manual. Older versions are also available there.
