Step 6. Balance payload
No RA balance is needed for a HEM27 mount.
Turn the mount power on. Press number 9 to change the slew speed to max. Press ◄ or ► button
to slew the telescope to one side of the mount. Hold the telescope and disengage DEC Gear Switch to
check the balance. Release dovetail saddle locking lever and move the scope back and forth to adjust the
position. Tighten the dovetail saddle locking lever and engage the gear switch after balancing completed.
Figure 17 Balance the mount in DEC
Return the mount to Zero Position after balancing and engage DEC gear switch.
If a counterweight is needed for higher payload, please thread in the CW shaft into the CW shaft
mounting hole. Slide the CW up and lock the CW. Put CW shaft safety screw on. Move the CW to the
bottom of the CW shaft.
