10.1 East and West limits

To avoid mechanical damage to the satellite dish or the LNB by physical obstacles, you must
first set the maximum degree of rotation to both East and West. If there are any obstacles in
the rotating field of the dish (e.g. a wall or chimney), these must definitely be considered
when setting the East-West limits.
If there are no obstacles in the rotating range of the dish, set the limits so that the dish can
be rotated a little further than the most extreme locations of the satellites to be received.
