[QUOTE="cokeaddict, post: 773118, member: 367906"] Looking at your picks you have the same actuator as me. What I did, was hook the actuator up on it's own to the vbox (so it's not connected to the dish/ polar mount), and then move it so that it's arm is fully in. Then I manually twisted the end of the arm, so that you can feel the tension of it, turning the motor internally. Once I was happy that it's fully wound in, I then extended it to to reach the dish (using the vbox), connected it up, and then moved the dish to the centre and Zero'd the v-box. [/QUOTE]
