DG380 and setup

I'm trying to install a DG-380 for several days now without any luck. I have the motor latitude set at 18.2 and my dish elevation set at 32. Is this correct? I read the instructions and what confused me the reference to a table that is made to set up the motor elevation. According with that table (Elevation/Declination angles) for a lat of 18.2 the table has a 72 elevation. Could you clarify if I should use 18.2 or 72 as my motor elevation.

I'm trying to use 61.5 as my south sat, but have not been able to get any quality yet. Do anybody has pictures on how the final installation should look like for this motor?
I am at lat 34.8 and longitude 92.1. My DG380 motor is set at 34.8 and the dish is set at 29.4, since the declination angle is 5.6 degrees. I will attach a pic of the 1M dish on a pole mount with the DG380 motor.

My problem with the DG380 is that the first time I used it and was supposed to go to 91°, it went all the way east and stopped and I haven't been able to move it since. Regards
