If the telescope reaches the limits, the drive motors will cut out, dome rotation will be disabled, an alarm will sound and a red light will flash on the grey box on the East side of the North pier. To recover, turn the override key on the grey box, switch the drives to FAST mode and slew the telescope away from the limits. '''Be very sure that you know which way to slew, as the telescope can be moved in any direction when the override key is turned.''' If in doubt, call a technician.
