Need help after switching to AZ mode AZ-EQ6 Pro

[dhmiller]

Just got my AZ-EQ 6 Pro yesterday and switched it to AZ mode for viewing. The manual says to "jack up the RA axis's elevation until it reaches approximately 88 degrees and the jack screw will disengage entirely  (doesn't mention removing the counterweights before switching modes until the next page - this is my first ever scope, so I know basically nothing) . In any case, made the switch and got the knurled screws into the correct positions but the jackscrew is still completely disengaged and I can't adjust the RA axis elevation, which is now almost exactly (88 degrees) parallel with the ground. How do I regain control of elevation at this point? I retightened the two fork tightening knobs and the RA clutch (tried both in various positions), but the jackscrew is completely non-functioning.  Thanks for any help.

Had a look at the manual and I don't think there's anything else you have to do. The longer bolt that's inserted into the the upper hole locks the elevation of the mount in place.  Elevation will now be controlled via handset/computer to the motor.

Thanks much. Sounds right, though not mentioned in the manual... Still have a lot of basics to learn.
