Note: There is a small packet of grease included with your
SkyView Pro GoTo system. Once you have installed the GoTo
motor so the gears mesh properly, you can apply a very
small amount of the included grease to the meshed gears to
ensure optimal gear mating.
Attaching the Dec. GoTo Motor
Before attaching the Dec. GoTo motor drive, the telescope
tube must be removed from the equatorial mount.
1. Remove the Dec. slow-motion control knob from the Dec.
worm gear shaft. The Slow-motion knob will not be usable
once the SkyView Pro GoTo system has been installed.
All slow-motion adjustments will be made using the GoTo
hand controller.
2 Using the supplied Phillips-head screwdriver remove the
Dec. Motor cover from the Dec. motor assembly (
Figure
9). Once the screws have been removed pull the cover
off the motor. There will be some friction resistance but it
should pull off by hand. Save the cover and screws in a
safe place to reinstall after the motor is attached.
3. Slide the geared end of the remaining small brass gear
onto the Dec. worm gear shaft of your SkyView Pro mount
