I also don't understand what you mean by the logitude scale.
If you have an EQ6 it just needs to be set up so that the RA axis points to the South pole. Your Longitude (and latitude)will be entered when you set up your location in the controller.
If you have the standard tripod one of the legs will have a "N" on it. Set the tripod so that this points as close to true south (not magnetic) as you can get. If you are using a compass don't forget to correct for magnetic deviation. Place the equatorial head on the tripod and set the elevation adjustment at about 36 degrees (this scale could be two or three degrees out but will be adjusted during alignment).
This is the starting position for the alignment. Next just follow the instructions.
