Assembly

(Without a Crane)

Step 1

Step 2

19

As stated earlier, Andrew recommends the use of a crane during this installation
process; however, we recognize that a crane may not always be available. If a crane is
not available, the following steps provide the procedure for installing the ground mount
assembly without a crane.

Carefully remove the ground mount assembly (P/N 208800-motorizable or P/N 202680-
2- manual) from the packing crate. Leave the steel strapping intact to avoid disengage-
ment of the panning frame from the square-tube weldment during the ground mount
installation.

Lay the ground mount assembly on its side, in line with the anchor bolts (P/N 203314-
manual or P/N 203666-motorizable) as shown in Figure 3-5.

NOTE: Ground mount positioning on the foundation is dependent upon predetermined
azimuth viewing requirements. The ground mount assembly panning-frame arm should
be opposite of the satellite requirement. If your site is in the Northern hemisphere, your
satellite will be located in the South. If your site is in the Southern hemisphere, your
satellite will be located in the North.
