Adjustment locations on the
antenna
Figure 48 shows the mechanical adjustments for azimuth,
elevation, and polarization. All pointing adjustments require a
½-inch wrench.
Detailed procedures for adjusting the antenna are included in the
sections that follow. As you make pointing adjustments, tighten
the lockdown nuts or bolts enough to prevent movement of the
antenna reflector. When you are done pointing, you fully tighten
all lockdown nuts and bolts.
