If the telescope reaches an altitude limit, it will simply stop tracking and can be pointed to a new position. If it reaches an azimuth limit while tracking, it should automatically "rewind" and continue tracking the same object. If it doesn't, you will need to repoint the telescope.

=== Start-up in Sutherland ===Follow this procedure to prepare the telescope and dome for observingin Sutherland:
1. # '''Check the weather conditions [https://suthweather.saao.ac.za/ here]'''. If windspeed <60km/h and T-T<sub>dew</sub> > 1.5 (see [[#Observing limits|observing limits]]), continue with step 2.
2. # Check the observing floor and '''clear any obstacles''' (e.g. ladders) that may obstruct the telescope.
3. # '''Switch off the [[#Light switches|lights]]''' everywhere except in the warm room.
# Log into lesedi-nuc in the warm room, open a browser and navigate to the [https://unifivideo.suth.saao.ac.za:7443/cameras webcam].
# Open a second browser window and navigate to the TCS (''URL coming soon'').
# Click the '''STARTUP''' button on the bottom right of the screen. This will switch on the slew lights so you can watch it open the dome, baffle and mirror covers, and set the dome to follow the telescope, then switch off the slew lights.
6. Select the '''Instrument''' you require by clicking either SHOC or SIBONISE to the mid-left of the display.

.=== Start-up remotely from Cape Town === On-site technical staff should have checked the facility in the afternoon, clearing any obstacles, unlocking the dome and turning off the lights.
# '''Check the weather conditions [https://suthweather.saao.ac.za/ here]'''. If windspeed <60km/h and T-T<sub>dew</sub> > 1.5 (see [[#Observing limits|observing limits]]), continue with the next step.
# Open a browser, navigate to the [https://unifivideo.suth.saao.ac.za:7443/cameras webcam] and check that the observing floor is clear.
