[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 705962, member: 323322"] I suppose if the hardware limits are set to almost nothing, then that would cripple the motor. But as you don't know what they are set to, it's vital you check. Mine are set to 60 deg either way. Usually means demounting the motor, removing the stub and lifting a cover on the motor base. Adjustment is by set screw. Very easy. The point of setting hard limits is to provide a "catch-all" physical restriction in order to stop the dish potentially hitting anything ....... like a wall! You can set Software limits in your Receiver as the first line of safety. Generally marginally less E/W than the hard limits. [/QUOTE]
