Hi All!

I have been trying to install a motorised dish and there seems to be alot of 'slack' in the motor. it is a darkman motor. Now that i have the dish up it rocks easily from side to side with very little pressure and the movement is coming from the motor tube. i have read the manual and there is a section on fixing loose tube. This involes slackening 4 allen keys and tightening a side screw. Has anyone else had this problem with a new motor and if so will the above procedure fix the problem?
