The antenna assembly is now complete. To adjust the antenna toward the selected
satellite you must first know its elevation angle above horizon. Subtract 22.3 degrees
from this number and this will be the reference angle for the face of the antenna. First
tighten the Pipe Adapter assy bolts only enough to allow rotation of the mount on the
ground pipe, then using an inclinometer on the face of the antenna pre-adjust the
desired elevation angle using the 2 nuts on each side of the lower pivot block on back
of the mount. Knowing the azimuth angle of the satellite from due south roughly aim
the antenna in that direction. Peak the Azimuth on the desired Satellite and tighten
Pipe Adapter assy bolts. With the LNB connected to the proper sight-in equipment the
antenna can be accurately adjusted to the satellite signal using the threaded fine tune
adjustments on both the azimuth and the elevation. Tighten all hardware when com-
plete.
Installation is complete.
