ASSEMBLE RING TO BASE CAN
Assembling the 48" Polar mount is very easy as there are only two major parts to put together.
Take the base can and set it over the base post. Tighten the set screws on the base can to hold it in place.
Take the 48" ring, which has the top cross members and the boom tube pre-assembled, and set it
up into the base can. You need to line up the hole on the boom with the hole on the base can. (use the upper
front hole on the base can) When you have them aligned slip in the 3/4"x 4 1/2" bolt. Make sure the bolts are
secure but leave them slightly loose until you have lined the antenna on the satellite you will be using. Once
you have aligned the antenna please double check all bolts and nuts to be sure they are tight.
Assembling the turnbuckle:
Because of International demand this mount has been designed to
be used almost anywhere in the world. Using the front bracket on the base can and the lower bracket on the
boom you can set the elevation between 0-40 degrees. (see figure #1 below) You may also use the bottom
rear bracket of the base can and the rear bracket on the boom to achieve a 32-48 degree elevation. (see figure
#2 below) We have a longer threaded rod that can be installed in place of the Right Hand threaded rod for
higher elevation needs.
