Step 1 - Aach AzEl to Back Bracket
1. From inside the Back Bracket, align the ve hole
paern on the Az/El.
2. Feed the (5) 5/16 x 3/4” RHSN bolts (Item 5/1)
from the back bracket to the Az/El.
3. Secure with (5) 5/16 hex ange nuts (Item 5/2).
Torque to a maximum of 15 /lbs.

Step 2 - Install Antenna on Mounng Pipe
1. Before aaching the Antenna system to the
mounng pipe use a magnec level to verify the
horizontal and vercal level of the pipe.
2. Being aware of health & safety at all mes, Carry
the Antenna to the pipe.
3. Slide the tube canister of the Az/El Assembly
(Item 3) over the top of the pipe and lower into
place.
4. Secure in place at this stage by hand ghtening
the 5/16” ange nuts on the canister assembly.

Step 4 - Aach the Feed Arm to the Back
Bracket
1. Insert one 5/16”-18 x 2-1/4” carriage bolt (Item
5/7) into the boom arm from the top.
2. Place the boom arm to align with the back
bracket holes and secure with two 5/16”-18
x 2-1/4 inch hex bolts (Item 5/3), 5/16-18 at
washer (Item 5/5) and 5/16-18 hex nylock nuts
(Item 5/4).
3. Finally, as shown here aach the boom arm
plate (Item 5/6) to the boom arm and back
bracket by aligning the 5/16-18 carriage bolt (Item
5/7)into the hole in the plate and secure using
at washer (Item 5/5) and 5/16-18 hex nylock nut
(Item 5/4).

Step 3 - Aach Reector to Back Bracket
1. Insert ve 5/16-inch x 3/4-inch carriage bolts
(Item 5/1) into the holes in the reector and through
the corresponding holes in the reector back bracket.
2. From the rear of the reector back bracket, secure
the ve carriage bolts (Item 5/1) with four 5/16-inch
hex ange nuts (Item 5/2).

Elevaon Fine Adjustment
1. Make nal adjustments to the elevaon by making slight
adjustments to the 5/16” ange nuts on the threaded
elevaon rod.
2. Adjust the nuts along the length to increase or decrease
the seng to achieve the desired elevaon.
3. Aer the correct elevaon has been established, ghten
the two(2) 5/16” ange nuts located in the arched slots
on the side of the Mount Assembly to 20 Nm (15  – lb)
and ghten the two(2) 5/16” ange nuts on the threaded
elevaon rod using a 1/2" wrench.
Elevaon Coarse Adjustment
1. Slightly loosen the two(2) 5/16” ange nuts located in the
arched slots in the sides of the Mount assembly and the two(2)
5/16” ange nuts on the threaded adjustment rod at the back of
the assembly.
2. Adjust the posion of the 5/16” ange nuts on the threaded
adjustment rod along the length of the rod to adjust the elevaon
angle, moving the nuts up & down to nd the correct posion.
Azimuth Coarse Adjustment
1. Using a compass, set the Antenna in the correct pre-determined
direcon.
2. Secure this posion by fully ghtening the three(3) 5/16”
locking nuts to the canister using a 1/2" wrench.
2.1 ANTENNA ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE
Azimuth Fine Adjustment
1. Slightly loosen the three(3) 5/16” locking nuts mounted to
the underside of the mount assembly.
2. Adjust the azimuth by turning the adjustment screw
clockwise or counter-clockwise unl the desired angle is
achieved.
3. Aer vericaon with a compass and meter, re-lock the
5/16” nuts to 20 Nm (15  – lb) using a 1/2” wrench.
