maintaining my squeaky EQ5

[lhuchison]

After using my 200p on a EQ5 mount for its first season, i noticed quite a pronounced squeak when the scope is manually moved about.

It only sqeaks when the clutches are tightened a bit. Is this normal? or is there a way to grease the workings?

I,ve searched the net but cant find anything on maintenance /greasing of the EQ5.
