Base Section To Tilt Base - DX Engineering DXE-7580FS-VA-1 Instructions Manual

Base Section to Tilt Base

Place the Lower Base Section into the holes of the Tilt Base and loosely install the Tilt Base
mounting hardware shown in Figure 6.
Figure - 6
Using a wrench or nut driver, securely tighten the two Nyloc Nuts at the bottom of the Tilt Base.
Then loosen them one-half turn each. This will allow proper movement of the Tilt Base while
raising or lowering the antenna. It is not necessary to tighten these nuts more securely unless further
tilt operation is no longer required. They should not be loosened more than one-half turn at any
time.
Test the tilt function to ensure proper clearances. Standing in front of the Tilt Base, lift the antenna
base section, slide it to the right, and let it down slightly until the lower outside bolt is resting in the
pivot point. Then slowly tilt as shown in Figure 7. Make sure when you are tilting the antenna to
lift, slide to the right, and then tilt. Be careful to keep the pivot bolt resting in the pivot point.
Reverse the process when raising the antenna.
