4. The antenna mount can be assembled so that the threaded rod which sets the Mount
Hour Angle can be installed on either side of the antenna to adjust the Mount Hour
angle so that the antenna points either east or west. If the satellite is located to the
west of the antenna, place the hour angle adjustment threaded rod on the west side of
the antenna. If the satellite is located to the east of the antenna place the hour angle
adjustment rod on the east side of the antenna.
