Gear Switch Axle Locking Knob
As an example, here are the positions for the Gear Switch and Axle Locking Knob for RA axis:

Switch . So the RA won’t swing and there is no force applied onto the worm/ring gear.
B: During mount balancing process, pull and turn the Axle Locking Knob to release it and leave the
Gear Switch at disengaged position . Now the mount will swing freely in RA direction.
C: During normal operation of the mount, i.e., GOTO and tracking, turn the Gear Switch to locking
position to engage the worm/ring gear while leave the Axle Locking Knob released 。
A. During transferring and
installing…

tracking.
