Why ndid you buy this toy telescope. Just because they run an ad and it's cheap does not mean it can actually be used for Astronomy.

This is a spotting scope a refractor style "toy" scope. You put the diagonal into the scope and then the eyepiece into the diagonal.

These scopes are terrible at any price.

Please read these two web sites before you buy another telescope:

Remove the cap and put an eyepiece into the focuser on the side of the tube. Turn the focus knob until you get a sharp image. Do this in the daytime on a distant object like the top of a telephone pole.

Use the eyepiece with the largest number written on it until you learn how to focus properly.

Try the other eyepiece first-- no one can fix that scope which is imported. No repair facilities or replacement parts. Next time stay away from those types of scopes-- buy from one of these NORMAL scope retailers--

You posted this question directly on Fixya. The manual will only have assembly instructions, it will not tell you how to use the scope to find objects in the night sky.

Better to buy two books and do some reading.

Nightwatch

and

Turn Left at Orion

Both are available on amazon.com

No manuals exits for that small telescope. The manual will not help you find objects in the night sky. Locate a local Astronomy club and the members will help you.

This is really considered to be a toy telescope, and is really not suited for Astronomy.

This appears to be a Newtonian style telescope on an equatorial mount-- they all work and assemble pretty much the same.

Look around the Meade manual web site for a similar assembly manual-- probably this one--
