When  using  the  filter  wheel  it  is  very  important  to  keep  its  internal 

balance. The weight and distribution of the filters will affect balance. Thus 
we recommend you space the filters out and evenly distribute them. In this 
case, install them in slots 1, 3, 5 and 7, then the EFW will work again.   

 

If this does not resolve your problem, please submit it on the ZWO support 

page:

.  Our  customer 

service will help!
