Step 3: Aligning Toroidal
We will use the same setting used before for illustration purpose.
Now you are ready to aim for a satellite.
1. Select one LNBF in the center (or the LNBF nearest to the center, 101W for this case)
and hook it up to the receiver or sat finder equipment.
2. Adjust azimuth by moving antenna unit left and right to find the best signal. Then,
tighten Weaving Tube Unit to the pole.
3. Align elevation a little bit to get the MAXIMUM signal. Remember elevation is the most
critical factor here. Tighten elevation bracket.
4. Hook up to other LNBF and measure signal strength. If adjustment needed, move LNBF
holder right or left along the guide until you get the maximum.
5. If you not able to get a satisfactory signal, adjust skew angle a little bit, 1 degree up or
down. Then adjust LNBF holder to left or right to get an optimal signals.
6. If not satisfied with signals, repeat the steps.
7. Enjoy Toroidal !

First, makes sure that your pole mount is absolutely vertical.
Without vertical pole, all other setting angles are almost
meaningless.
Parts:
Without any skew adjustment, adjust elevation. You can use
an angle locator as shown or use elevation reading on the
bracket. (Align the edge of tube to the readings) If you are
using a washer on elevation unit, you may not able to see the
edge of the tube.
Parts:
Make skew adjustment. Tighten but remember you may need
to adjust this later on. So do not use excessive force.
