Default Leveling scope

I have Covington's book "How to use a Computerized Telescope. In it, he
refers to leveling the tripod. Celestron says level the tube. Are the two
synonomous or is there some point on the tripod that needs to be leveled as
well as the tube? Conceivably, the tripod mount could be way off level,
while the tube could be level. I'm a beginner, so be kind.
