DH Satellite 60 Horizon to Horizon/Powered Dec - Manual (Page 5)

Assembly of the Ring to the Mount
Most of the time the mount will be assembled at the factory, unless the truck load won't allow
for the extra room required when assembled. If your mount is not assembled, look at the sketch on
page 1 and familiarize yourself with the orientation of the mount. Notice that the upper crossmember
has two holes to slide over the declination adjustment bolts where the lower crossmember has the
two holes in the end to attach to the swivel.
First put one 3/4” nut on each of the two declination bolts, then slide the 3" top frame over the
bolt and thread on the second nut. Now go to the 3" bottom frame and line it up with the hole in the
bracket on the lower section of the mount
. Install the 3/4" x 2" bolts through the bracket and tighten
into the end of the 3" lower frame member. (There should be a factory installed bushing in the
bracket, make sure this is in place before installing the bolt
. )
Once the unit is assembled and all bolts are tightened down, you can set the declination. To do
this, set the angle of the boom the same as your latitude. Refer to the declination adjustment chart in
the back of this manual on page 13. No
w , adjust the top of the ring away f rom the boom by the
amount of degrees you find on th e chart. You do this by using the nuts on the upper 3" tube, first
loosen both nuts and t hen tighten or loosen the inside nut or the outside nut to gi v e y ou the offset
angle (de c lination) you need.
For example, our factory is located a t 43 degrees north latitude. The chart on page 13 tells you
that we must ha ve 6 . 6 deg r ees de c lin a t i on . We first use the turnbuckle and elevate the boom to 43
degrees , now you tilt the ring a head another 6.6 degrees . Your reading on the boom is 43 degrees and
49 . 6 degre e s on the ring.
