My motor developed a gear backlash problem after 4 weeks of use.
Tech support, of course never heard of a problem like that and had
no suggestions other than return for warranty. Well for me it was not
cost effective to return a $50 motor.

The motor has an adustment between the motor and post. Its an
eccentric screw that will remove the gear backlash. You will have to
remove the motor to get to the adjustment. Loosen the locking nut
before trying to turn the screw.

Symptoms: Motor would only hit satellites correctly when traveling
East - West and when traveling West - East off by .5 degrees or more.
