holding the motor in position (pictured in Figure
4-7). Withdraw the motor assembly from the
elongated slots.
3. Install the new assembly with the motor connector
facing down, as shown in Figure 4-7. Reinstall the
stop nuts and washers but do not tighten.

motor mounting plate behind the slots in the
frame and the motor connector facing down, as
shown in Figure 4-7. Reinstall the stop nuts and
washers but do not tighten.
5. Raise the motor and work the toothed drive belt
over the outer lip of the hub. Press down gently on
the motor body while rotating the antenna
reflector up and down to ensure free movement.
