Revision 2.0
Figure 1: Start with Paramount ME in this orientation.
Tighten the right ascension knob to free the RA axis (holding on to it!) and position it on
one of the two hard stops as shown above. Back the RA knob off until the worm and
gear are again meshed to hold it in place. This position ensures that the index on the gear
will not interfere with the sensor.
Declination Motor Cover Removal
Figure 2: Remove these five socket head cap screws.
Using a 5/32-inch hex wrench, remove the two 5/32-inch socket head cap screws in
Figure 2. Using a 1/8-inch hex wrench, remove the three remaining socket head cap
screws.
Removing the declination cover reveals the declination motor. At this point, we
recommend also removing the back portion of the declination cover to make removing
the declination motor assembly simpler.
