AP Mach1 Issues

Hi All

My new Mach1 arrived today. First impression – very well built; lovely manufacture job.

But I have noticed three issues. I thought I would put up some pics here to make sure I am right before I contact the US.

First, the counterweights. You will notice the four counterweights in the pic, with the counterweight shaft. I don’t see how they can fit. The shaft has a diameter of 28.5 mm. The counterweights have a hole with a diameter of 47.5 mm. I can find no “fillers” in the boxes. So they have sent the wrong weights. I think these are for the thicker shaft.

Second, the pier adapter. I got the Flat Surface Adapter with Flat Pier Plate. The base of the mount is 150 mm diameter. The inside diameter of the adapter is 170 mm. Something is missing. It is just too slopey. Any suggestions?

Third, the keypad was not in the box.

Other than that, all is good.

Darrell
