Yes. Please do that. The first thing you want to do with an EQ mount is to get polar alignment. There are two long screws that will help you get the proper "tip" to center on Polaris. After that, you don't touch them for the rest of the night. If you get any resistance on one, you have to loosen the other. If you try to force the screw that is giving you resistance, you can ruin your mount. I did that to my first EQ mount.
After you get polar alignment done, you just use your locking handles to loosen up your scope and swing it to wherever you want to go. It's all pretty easy once you have done it. If your EQ mount is similar to mine, it'll be a cinch.
You will also find that if you go observing a lot, you won't have to turn those screws much to get a proper polar alignment. If you only go out say, once a month, you will find that it will take several turns to achieve proper polar alignment.
