Installation
A Erect the sat tripod mast
Unfold the sat tripod mast, align it and secure it
1. Loosen the star grip screw①(Fig. 2, P.2) and fold out the legs⑤of the sat tripod mast. To do this, push the joint
head②downwards until the struts③are horizontal.
2. Tighten the star grip screw and position the sat tripod mast at its chosen location.
3. Align the sat tripod mast so that the mast tube④is vertical and one of the legs is facing towards the satellite.
4. Secure the sat tripod mast using the securing pegs supplied. Do this by inserting the securing pegs into the ground
through the holes in the tripod mast legsⒶ(Fig. 1, P.1).
Caution
Risk of injury due to the sat tripod mast tipping over in a strong wind. Be sure to drive the securing pegs
suciently firmly into the ground to provide an anchor.
Prepare the extension
5. Loosen the star grip screwⒸ(Fig. 3) and pull the extensionⒹout until 2 engagement pin holes are visible.
6. Insert the engagement pinⒷsuciently far into the lower of the two holes until both grooves are engaged with the
tube wall.
Fit the antenna and extend the extension to the required height
7. Fit the antenna on to the extension. If necessary, request a second person to assist you to hold the antenna steady
until it is clamped on to the mast.
8. With the antenna mounted, use one hand to pull out the extension to the desired height, taking care not to exceed
the maximum height.
Warning
Pull the extension out of the mast tube at most until the 4th engagement pin hole is just visible.
9. With the other hand, insert the engagement pin suciently far into the engagement pin hole for the desired height,
until both grooves are engaged with the tube wall (Fig. 4).
10. Allow the extension to slowly slide down into the mast tube until the engagement pin rests on the top of the tube.
11. Align the antenna towards the satellite and tighten the star grip screw Ⓒa little.
