For the standard bracket installation:

focuser is fully retracted.
The maximum number of steps is recommended to be set to a limit
position less than or equal to the full focuser stroke.
For the curved saddle installation:
The 0 position is recommended to be set near the focus of the
focus of the focus holder.

9. Manual/Automatical Focus Control
Your EAF is able to be manually controlled and there are two ways
to achieve this. One is via the optional hand controller and secondly
via the astronomy software package in use.
We recommend you align your EAF in the daytime and use a
distant target such as a building to focus on when setting up the
focuser for the first time. This will help you in finding the correct
focus position with plenty of light to illuminate the chosen object.
When you have found the correct focus position during the daytime,
make a note of the step count number. When observing in the dark
later, this will make finding the focus position easier and trouble
free.
