It is just a matter of care getting the scope on, just make sure you have the knobs for the dovetail clamp to the top.
And yes, the counterwiights go on first. A good way to see how much weight is required is to set it up in EQ mode and balance both axis in that mode to work out where it should all be. It does not seem as critical on the az axis in alt-az but it has to be nicer on the bearings if it is well balanced. The alt axis is easy enough to check in that mode.
