What do you mean by cant figure it out, what difficulty are you having?

Are the manuals of any use, they can be found at the following under the support menu:

The knowledge base and/or video located at the same location may be of help

I dont get what I can use it for it has on it "N" and "S" which I assume is north and south.

Does anybody use the motor drive or do people just manually do it.

I dont get the motor drive on this telescope .

Ill check out that link anyway i might understand a bit more.

I dont have the paper manuals that came with it as I bought second hand from a friend who chucked them .

Thanks

You use "N" only direction and it basically rotates the RA axis. Manual here
