The bracket is upside down.

Errm, the reason you have no mark on the bracket is because it is on the other side. You have the bracket upside down. EDIT Well, I thought you did, as mine has to be the other way up, but in fact yours is correct.

I suspect the reason wht your system is not working properly is that the elevation setting on the motor is not correct,so your arc is not the right steepness. I think you have set the latitude too high by the look of it.

Can you post a side view of the motor showing the scale.



Oh, and the dish setting is not the same as your Latitude. The manual will give you an equation to use to set it as a first stab.


BTW, yes I agree the bracket on the Triax is absolute sh!te!
What I had to do on mine was to not tighten it up fully so you could just about move it, then screwed some self tappers in to stop it slipping. This was necessary, because when you tighten the two bolts, the elevation moves a tiny bit.
