Sky-watcher/Orion goto motor clutch adjustment

Hi all,

I picked up an Orion xt10g a few weeks back and the azimuth clutch is so tight that when manually slewing the scope it will drag the base around unless forceful downward pressure is placed on the uprights.

I keep reading of references to a document released by skywatcher on how-to adjust the tension but have yet to find a download link.

Does anyone have a copy handy?

If not, I'm assuming it's just going to be a matter of pulling the black cover and backing off and adjusting a lock nut (similar to slipper clutches in rwd rc cars?)

Cheers
