SW 10" Go To Dob problem ?

Hi Guys.
I am not sure if this is a problem with my scope or not. When moving a long distance, without using the slew buttons on SynScan, the Alt bearing movement is a lot stiffer than a none go to dob but seems ok. The Azimuth bearing is the problem, it is so tight that when pushing to slew the scope the whole dob base slides round on its feet. The only way I can slew it without loosing my tracking is to push down on either side of the Alt bearing with a lot of my weight and then turn to slew. I am sure this isn't how it is meant to be.
Any thoughts from SW go to dob owners.
