Afterwards rest the level east-west on top of the motor and make sure the motor is level. This step confirms the motor is on the pole straight (see picture).You use 5ºW because it is the closest satellite to your longitude. If you can't hit 30ºW and 39ºE on the same arc you have done something wrong. Probably you didn't move the right number of clicks to the west before lining up on 5ºW. To know if the motor is centred just go by the square plate on the top. Make sure it is parallel with the motor body. It's easy to do by eye. Once you think it is centred go 21 clicks west (clockwise) and then line up on the satellite at 5ºW.</blockquote>
