5. Periodic Maintenance
TEPP has a pretty robust design, but it still needs some periodic maintenance to keep the key
components healthy.
Check the
greasing of the DEC axis
in every 6
months. If it’s too dry, apply some grease. You can
move the DEC part into the upper position with the
remote controller. This way you will have enough
space to get the grease anywhere ont he axis.
After doing so, switch off then on again the
electronics to get the DEC into the center position.
Check the
RA belt tightness
once in every 6 months. If it’s too loose, you can tighten it by
adjusting the gear wheel position on the side opposite to the RA motor. The tightness is just
perfect, if the loosest part of the belt can move around 3-4 mm.
