Care and Maintenance
The CGX mount is sturdy and will last many years when
properly cared for

Storage
Although the mount and electronics are designed for
outdoor us
age, you should not store the mount outside
unless it’s sheltered by an observatory or storage shelter
of some kind (such as a garage). Constant hot, cold, and
humidity extremes can eventually cause wear to the elec-
tronics, mechanical lubrication and the finish quality of the
mount. Store in a sheltered area away from the Sun. Keep
in a dry place if possible.
