Note: Thecontrol cable has 12 wires that control motors, provi es GPS information an
sensor fee back. If a control cable connector is miss wire it can cause amage to GPS or
sensors. This can result in component failure an cause many hours of unnecessary
troubleshooting time which costs everyone time an money. A ouble check of all wiring
before powering up will result in a smoother installation.

Mount Installation Warning
Your Eagle mount utilizes a GPS system for acquisition. Calculations for skew an elevation are
base on a level surface (+or- 3 Degrees, Right, Left, Forwar an Back). Failure to level the mount
to these specifications uring installation can equate to poor performance. To etermine if your
mount is in compliance to this criteria, you can use the following formula. Tools require ...
1. A level
2. A tape measure
Formula = + or - 3 egrees is approximately 5/8" for every 12" from center of mount.
How to measure
.... using a level, lay it onto the base of the mount. Bring the bubble of the level to center an at
12" from the center of the mount measure the istance from the bottom of the level to the roof top. If the istance
12" out from center of the mount is less than 5/8" then you are within tolerance.
How to a just the mount
.... if leveling of the mount is require , use flat washers to "shim" the low si e of the
mount to bring it into tolerance. It oes not have to be exact, just shim to bring the mount into specs. It may be
necessary to lengthen the screws to accommo ate a larger a justment..
