Default how do I re-tune a motorized sat system?

I have a 1.8 metre dish with a DiSEqC1.2 Stab USALS motor connected to a Techomate 5300D+ receiver.

With a rush of blood to the head I tried to add a the sat Nilesat 7.0W to my satellite list (which ranges from Thor 1.0W to Astra 28.2E) and in doing so I have lost my Arabsat 26E signal.

I still have the freesat 28.2E signal and Hotbird 13E and can get the channels on those two. Which means the motor still works.
But somehow I've knocked my dish out of alignment for Arabsat 26E.

How do I retune it back to its default where I could get all the Arabsat 26E channels?
For some reason I've done something to my system where when I select 26E and scan I get the 28.2E channels (freeview sat and not Arabsat).

How do I reset and get things back to how they were?
Is there a reset option?

Thanks

Dave.

PS - sorry if this question has already been asked.

You need to go into the motorised menu system, of your receiver, select 26E, and fine tune the position, until you get a picture, but with such a large dish I should imagine you're going to have problems from the powerful Sky satellites.

Does the stab motor handle the 1.8m dish ok? I would have thought it would be too heavy!
