Do not overload the mount. Do not drop the mount as this will damage the mount and / or
permanently degrade GoTo performance and tracking accuracy. Use a wet cloth to clean the mount and
hand controller. Do not use solvent.
The mount worm/gear meshing can be adjusted to accommodate payload or temperature changed.
Please refer to the instruction in Appendix.
