[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 91312, member: 175144"] The actuator should be mounted as far away from the 'hinge' of the polarmount as possible. The further away it is, the stronger the design will be , but at the expense of travel (actuator needs to extend more, to move the dish further on the arc) Therefore both mounting places should be on one side of the dish, either East or West. If you are experiencing floppy action, then you should check the condition of all the bearings, and the wormdrive in the actuator arm, none should have any movement in them, except a smooth turning action. Its also very important to have the limits in the actuator set correctly. If not, theres a chance of damage to the dish, the actuator, or the chimney. [/QUOTE]
