Installing the .98 m
mount on concrete or
concrete masonry walls
6. Use a 9/16-inch socket wrench to screw the lag screws into
the hole.
Note:
Do not pound the lag screws into the stud with a
hammer or mallet. Doing so may split the wood and render
the stud unusable.
7. Position the other strut mounting bracket hole so it is centered
on its mark. (Figure 21 on page 56 is for illustration only.)
8. Repeat step 3 on page 60 through step 6 on page 61 for the
other strut screw.
9. Re-plumb the mast. If you had to loosen the adjustment nuts
to plumb the mast, snug them again to 18 ft.-lbs. You can
adjust the struts' length to plumb the mast.
Note:
The mast must be plumb before you can proceed. If
you cannot plumb the mast, repeat the steps above or find
another installation site.
The satellite dish can be attached to concrete masonry (cinder
blocks) or concrete walls. The concrete masonry (cinder block) or
concrete walls must be a minimum of 8 inches thick. Attachment
anchors can be placed no closer than 12 inches from any
discontinuous surface, such as a window, door, or edge of a wall.
Anchors cannot be installed in mortar joints or within 2 inches of
mortar joints. You must use the specified Hilti sleeve anchors.
Install only the four anchors specified; do not install additional
anchors.
The satellite dish cannot be installed on masonry veneered wall
construction or on any synthetic stucco wall surface (also called
Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS)). You must use the
support struts. Do not install the struts within 12 inches of any
discontinuous surface, such as a window, door, or edge of a wall.
The anchors must be tightened to 10 ft.-lbs. To manipulate the
support struts, follow the instructions in the section Adjusting the
support struts on page 45. Figure 25 illustrates an installation on
masonry.
