Default telescope setup

Hi folks
I am a new entrant to the hobby, and would appreciate some advice. I have
purchased a 2nd hand 114mm Newtonian telescope, which has no setup guide for
the mount. It is described as a EQ-1 mount, with an RA motor drive.
(Telescope is a Helios 114M). never having seen one of these before, (only
used an Alt/Az mount previously) are there any resources online or anywhere
else to help me here?
Thanks in anticipation
Gareth
