Collimating Skywatcher 180 Mak with Hotech

Hi,
I've borrowed a Hotech SCT collimator from a generous IIS member, but am having some trouble understanding how to collimate my Skywatcher 180 Mak. I can set things up, but the procedure is different than for an SCT. When I was looking to buy a collimator, I got in touch with David from Hotech, who said there was a different procedure for Mak, and that he could send through the description. However, I've since emaild and asked but with no reply.

I'm wondering if anyong here knows the correct procedure for collimating a Maksutov (fixed secondary, moveable primary is the main issue, as the Hotech instructions are based around an adjustable secondary)
Cheers
Stephen
