There seems to be a lack of manuals for the HEQ5 online
as regards stripping the mount down, cleaning and lubricating etc. This is my
effort at providing a comprehensive and easy to follow guide for the HEQ5. The
HEQ5, HEQ5-Pro and Sirius EQ-G are the same basic mount - the only difference
is the GoTo versions with the motors, the power board, the main board, the
handcontroller and the cosmetics. The strip down procedure will be
identical.
I found on strip down
mine had a reasonable quantity of manufacturing debris left inside - this
became noticeable after a GoTo upgrade with the motors stalling and the mount
sticking.
If your mount performs relatively well but suffers only from motor
stall then before stripping down the mount you should try the 'adjusting the
worm engagement' part of this guide.
