Step 5: Estimate the SAT B elevation (angle) setting you recorded
earlier, using a protractor if needed (see Figure G). Check any
obstructions at that elevation. If there are obstructions, then select
an alternate location for the dish.
important: When evaluating the install location, make sure there are no trees,
branches or objects visually obstructing the dish and the general direction
of the satellite. also, keep in mind that trees grow up and outward and may
eventually block the signal.

Step 1: Ensure mast is plumb before drilling any holes. Hold the
Universal Mount in place on the mounting area. Use a carpenter’s
level to plumb the antenna mast’s straight section. If the bubble
levels (horizontal and vertical) are not centered, rotate the mast
(in the curved slot) until it is plumb. Lock it in place by securely
tightening the Mast Adjusting Bolts (see Figure H).
important: alignment of the dish will be difficult if the mast is not plumb.
Step 2: Drill holes in the structure on which you are mounting the
dish to match the holes in the base of the Universal Mount.
Step 3: Secure the Universal Mount with appropriate surface screws.
Check the mount for movement. An improperly secured mount will
affect dish performance.
Step 4: Slide the Dish/Clamp Mount Assembly onto the mast by
loosening the (2) Azimuth Clamp Bolts (see Figure C) and the
Elevation Pivot Bolt just enough to slide the assembly until it
makes contact with the Elevation Pivot Bolt (see Figure I). Tighten
the Elevation Pivot Bolt just enough to hold it in place on the mast.
Step 5: Loosen the Elevation Adjustment Bolt 1/3 turn from tight
on either side of the Clamp Mount Assembly. Adjust the Clamp
Mount Assembly to the edge of the white indicator line per the
SAT B elevation setting you recorded earlier. Tighten the Elevation
Adjustment Bolt (see Figure I).
Step 6: Attach the Quad Satellite LNB/Feedhorn Clamp Assembly to
the Feed Support Arm. Loosen the Feed Arm screw enough to allow
the clamp to fit snugly into the Feed Support Arm. Securely tighten
the Feed Arm screw.

the satellite will be to the Southwest.
If you live in Vancouver,
the satellite will be to the Southeast.
