Check that the dish is facing exactly the same way as the zero mark on the dish mover.
Then make a mark on the dish mover shaft, and the dish mounting hardware with a
permanent marker (see red mark in picture below). Now remove the dish.
Later when you come to step 5 you will know exactly where the dish should be fitted. This
will also help with step 6 as setting the dish elevation can make the dish move side to side.
You will however be able to check easily that it is exactly where it should be by comparing
the mark.
2 Make sure the mounting pole is perfectly vertical. Even if your pole is already setup, check it
with a spirit level as this is very very important.

User Manual and select your latitude from the list. Mark your latitude on the table. Fit the
dish mover to the mounting bracket at your latitude as shown on the scale (see picture
