M-Zero OBS belt tensionner adjustment was created by G_Gagnon
My M-Zero OBS has a slight play in the RA axis and I am assuming that it may be due to the belt requiring a small increase in belt tension. The DEC axis seems to be OK, as there is minimal play. Is there an easy procedure to adjust the tensionner to correct for the problem?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,
Gilles

Hi Gilles

The M-zero RA tensioner adjustment is placed on the mount RA body left side, under the L shaped lateral bracked (see attachment).

The procedure the perform the adjustment is explained on the video below.



The video refer to a M-uno mount but the procedure is the same for the M-zero mount.

Best regards
