HEQ5 pro and counterweights

Hi,
Another synta lack of instructions question.

When not using the mount, which is often in cloudy Melbourne, I take of the scope, and the weights. Its easier to move the mount in pieces. I have also put the weight bar up as far as it goes into the mount to move it with the weights still attached...if that makes sense. My question is if the weights are still on the mount does the 10kg counterweight affect the internal gears as the mount is now not balanced? I always return the mount to home position before powering off. Matt
