Maybe try to check the integrity of the encoders.
Centre an object.
Note the RA Dec from the hand controller.

Rotate the mount through 360* then check that the RA Dec reading is the same.
You may also move it back and forth to try to induce any encoder slippage error and return to the original object to check the displayed RA Dec are the same.
does this make sense.
I am making it up as I go here.
