Tension screw:
When using the telescope with the motor, please ensure that the tension screw is not over-tightened. Over-tightening the tension screw may cause damage to the focuser.
Think of it like driving a car and pressing the gas pedal while also pressing the brake simultaneously. Just as this action could harm your car's systems, over-tightening the tension screw could compromise the functionality of your telescope's focuser.
