Page 7: Dome Rear Mount Installation
Dome Rear Mount Installation This mount is placed preferably on the driver’s side back of the cab. The driver’s side is preferable in order to minimize the dome being impacted by tree branches. If the truck is hauling reefers, then it is important to mount the bracket as close as possible to one side of the sleeper (again preferably the driver’s side) and not in the middle of the truck. - Page 8 When at least six of the pilot holes are drilled, take out the 1/4”-20 bolts, set the fixed mount base aside. Using the 3/8” drill bit, drill out all six previously drilled pilot holes. Using the impact gun set at 1100 to 1300 inch- pounds and the 3/8 Hex bit with the Riv-nut tool, twist one of the Riv-nuts on the end of the Riv-nut tool mandrel.
- Page 9 Now it’s time to put the EpicVue satellite dome on the bracket. There are two sets of mounting holes on the Top Pivot Plate. Use the set of holes that allows you to get the dome as close to the truck as possible.
- Page 10 Key Points of the Dome Rear Mount Install • Make sure that you have all your items needed before beginning. • Regulations for DOT require the height of no more than 13’6”, so install the top of the bracket at 12’4”will set the top of the dome just under the DOT height requirement.

Page 11: Connecting The Coaxial Cables
Connect the other coax line without writing to the secondary port of the dome. *If installing the single coax included with the EpicVue basic package connect it to the main Coax Behind & Through port. Bracket Feed this coax across the sleeper and down through the wind-fairing brackets. - Page 12 Drill a 1-1/8” hole using a step bit or a hole saw. Next run the cables through the hole, making sure they are pulled tight (without kinking the cable). Add flex tubing around the cables to prevent them from rubbing and shorting out. Use a zip tie or two underneath the sleeper to prevent the coax from hanging down and catching on something.

(Winegard Rayzar Amplified Antenna if Purchased Separately) EpicVue is also included in an off-air antenna with every system. It’s a Winegard Rayzar amplified antenna, one of the best on the market. Install this antenna as it is by far a higher- quality antenna than what comes on the truck.
