ATTACHING THE ANTENNA TO THE RING
This can either be done before or after the mount is assembled. Place the antenna face down on a
flat surface and set the 26" ring on the back. Line up the six holes on the mount to
match the six holes on the antenna. Have one of your people take 3- 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolts, place first a
steel washer then a rubber washer on the bolt then slide them in every other hole from the
antenna into the tabs on the ring. (The 3 remaining holes will be used for the feed assembly). Finger
tighten these nuts. Please see drawing #5 for placement of the washers.
FINAL MOUNT ASSEMBLY
Take the base can and align the holes in the two ears with the 1/2" hole in the boom (Refer to fig. 6). Slip
in the 1/2" x 4" bolt and finger tighten with a 1/2" nut. Take the elevation rod (refer to the drawing on
the last page) and slip the 1 1/2" x 1/2" bolt through the tab on the base can and tighten with a 1/2" nut.
At the same time take a 5/8" nut and work it up about l 1/3" of the way on the threaded rod. Now slip
the threaded rod through the 5/8” center hole on the top of the boom. Secure it with the other 5/8" nut,
tighten all bolts and nuts. Take the assembled dish and mount and set it over the base post or base
stand.
