Electronic advice on power supply, please.

Hi all,

I have just purchased a Dick Smith Laboratory power supply 13.8vDC 23Amp.

I am planning on using it to power my Losmandy Titan mount. On reading the manual, under Caution, I read; Do Not use this power supply for highly inductive loads such as solenoids or motorized equipment, as turn-on surges and back-EMF spikes from these loads may damage components in the power supply.

Would the motors in the Titan mount fall into this catergory?

Thanks.
