EQ6-R Motor Sound

Hi all

I finally got everything ready on my new telescope and mount.
I bought a LIFEPO4 battery pack and had to create a link between the spade bits and the cigarette plug. All good.

So when I fired up the unit for the first time and used the SynScan remote to move the mount, it initially makes "whooshing" noise. At the end of the movement, the same noise comes back. Underneath there's a rough grinding sound that's more apparent on the Declination motor.

See below for a direct link to the audio file.

RA movement:

Dec movement (this one has a weird almost grinding sound?):

For anyone with this mount, is this normal?

Cheers
Adam
