My new G11 – Modelling Parameters

Having recently purchased a G11/Gemini, I am still attempting to set it up correctly. As I am using it mainly for astrophotography work I would like to optimise as much as possible, without any additional expenses. I am hoping that a good understanding of this information will help to improve my setup.

According to GCC the Modelling Parameters for my setup are:

Polar Misalignment
Azmuth: 333
Elevation: -682

Non-Perpendicularities
Pole: -529
Equator: 851

Index Error
Hour Angle: -909
Declination: 729

Mirror Flop / Gear Play
Hour Angle: 3391
Declination: -29

Flexure
Counterweight:30
Tube: 0

Can anyone help to explain the “Modelling Parameters” for the G11/Gemini?

Based on this information are there some simple things that I should try to correct to make the mount work optimally?
