To install the EAF-Quattro EAF Starizona Mounting Bracket on your ZWO EAF and Skywatcher Quattro telescope, follow these steps:

1. Remove Focus xxxx : Start by removing the left side xxxx from the focuser. Loosen the set xxxx located in the black pinion block of the focuser and slide off the xxxx from the focus shaft.

2. Remove Mounting Screws: Take out the left two mounting screws from the black pinion block of the focuser. These screws will be replaced with the longer screws included with the mounting bracket.

3. Install the EAF Shaft Coupler: The ZWO EAF comes with different shaft couplers, and for the Quattro telescope, you will use the one with a 4mm hole on one side. Slide the coupler onto the focus shaft until you can tighten the lock xxxx just outside the focuser pinion block. Do not slide the coupler all the way into the hole that the focus xxxx came out of.

4. Install EAF Motor: The installation process for the EAF motor differs slightly depending on the version of the focuser. For the first version, align the motor end of the shaft coupler flush with the face of the EAF motor. For the second version, leave about 2mm of space between the motor end of the shaft coupler and the face of the EAF to allow for proper alignment with the bracket.

5. Attach Bracket to EAF Motor: Use the M4 hex screws provided with the EAF to attach the motor to the bracket. It is recommended to not fully tighten these screws at this point to allow for adjustments later.

6. Attach Bracket to Focuser: Finally, attach the bracket to the focuser using the mounting screws included with the bracket. Use the smaller M3 screws and washers for the first style focuser and the larger M4 screws and washers for the second style focuser. After installing the focuser mounting screws, adjust the motor mounting if needed to ensure everything is squared up.

By following these steps, you will successfully install the EAF-Quattro EAF Starizona Mounting Bracket on your ZWO EAF and Skywatcher Quattro telescope.
