Follow the steps below to raise the antenna for reflector, bracket, and LNB assembly
removal.
Pay attention to the pinch points as the antenna raises. See below.
Press [POWER], and hold for two seconds to turn on
the TRAV’LER®interface box. Wait until the interface
box finishes “connecting to antenna.” The TRAV’LER
antenna may enter the search routine after ten seconds.
As the antenna raises, press [POWER] and [SELECT] at the
same time. The antenna should stop moving.
Unplug the TRAV’LER interface. Continue with reflector
removal.
If you cannot get the antenna to raise by following the above instructions,
you may have to raise the antenna with the emergency manual stow drive.
Emergency manual stow is meant as a last resort!
Unplug the TRAV’LER interface, and remove the
plastic bolt from the back of the mount.
Insert a 3/8inch socket extension into
this auxiliary drive. Turn the auxiliary
drive counterclockwise to raise the
unit. Do not use a drill!
After raising the unit, continue with the
next section to remove the reflector
and LNB assembly.

If converting a DIRECTV SWM Slimline antenna to a DISH TRAV’LER antenna, remove
the power inserter and SWM splitter; these will not be used.
Remove the four reflector nuts and bolts, and remove the dish. Set the nuts and
bolts aside.
Disconnect the coaxial cables from the turret. Note that the D port will not be
present on a SWM TRAV’LER antenna.
Remove the bolt holding the cable harness to the unit, and detach the cable
harness from the lift arm.
Set the bolt aside; you will need this later.
NOTE If you are replacing an existing Reflector and Assembly, follow the instructions below, otherwise proceed to “Installing the DISH Reflector and LNB Assembly” section.

NOTE If replacing a Slimline assembly with a DISH assembly, remove the four bolts from the adaptor plate, and remove the adaptor plate.
NOTE If replacing a Slimline assembly with a DISH assembly, align the small post on the back
of the DISH 1000 adaptor plate with the small groove on the skew assembly hub. Fit the
small post into the groove. Secure the adaptor plate to the hub with the four supplied ¼inch Allen screws.

Align the four holes on the inside of the reflector bracket with the four marked
holes in the adaptor plate. See image below for the holes to align with the
reflector bracket and adaptor plate. The numbers on the reflector bracket and
adaptor plate should match.
TIP The bracket should be installed so that the LNB arm assembly is at the bottom of this plate.
Replace the supplied 3/16 inch Allen screws through these
four holes, and tighten.
After the bracket has been installed, connect and tighten the
coaxial cables. These can be re-connected in any order, but
port D should be left open.
Install the provided F-cap on port D. The F-cap will not be
used if converting from a SWM TRAV’LER antenna.
Find the cable tie on the coax cables that you just connected to the mount.
Place the coax cable clamp on the cables just above this cable tie. Carefully
screw this coax cable to the lift arm using the 5/16 inch screw provided.
Be careful not to strip out the hole for the 5/16 inch screws when you replace
the clamp holding the coax cables to the arm. Do not use a power tool.
NOTE
If the cable tie is missing, install the clamp fourteen inches from the end
of the connectors.
Align the four outer holes in the reflector bracket with the four corresponding
holes in the reflector. Install a bolt through each hole on the front of the reflector,
and install a nut on each bolt. Tighten.
Use the provided packaging to re-package the removed LNB and attached cables.
