Just bought a motor today for my Skywatcher 5.1" (Simple Type EQ2-Made in
China) Looks like a cheap motor but we'll see. From what I can see it
installs on one of those fine adjustment knobs. My question is if I want to
adjust it using the wheel on the other side of the mount (eq2) will it break
the motor?

Thanks in advance,

YES! That is, if you try to use the RA adjustment knob while the motor
is engaged (via the motor's thumbscrew) you will break the motor.
Please carefully read the manual that should have come with the motor.
