STEP 4. Mount dish on roof in upright position. Rotate
clockwise to stop, Figure 5. Dish will be toward back
of vehicle when in stowed or travel position. The word
FRONT is embossed on the base and should face the
front of vehicle. Secure to roof using screws (provided).
The travel bracket sjhould be mounted to roof 6-1/8”
from base of dish, toward back of vehicle. See Figure 6.
NOTE: Apply non-hardening sealing compound to
screw heads, coax access hole and edge of gasket
under mount base.
Install the vent tube on the back of the mount base
(the is the side opposite the word FRONT). The hole
for the vent tube is shown in Figure 6A. CAUTION:
DO NOT seal hole in vent tube. Put sealant around
the outside of the vent tube, approximately 1/2” from
end. Push vent tube into the hole. The sealant will
seal the hole as you push in vent tube. Leave approxi-
mately 2 to 2-1/2” of the vent tube extending from the
hole. Put a small amount of sealant on the roof under
the vent tube end to hold in place.
