Installation Procedure
1) Select a flat and secure site to install the satellite dish antenna base plate.
2) Place the base plate so the outside holes are positioned over the brick surfaces. Do not drill
into the mortar between the bricks.

3) Using a carpenter's level, plumb the satellite dish antenna mast in at least two different
locations on the side of the mast, as shown. These two
measurements should be at right angles to each other. If the
mast is plumb (aligned vertically with the bubble level), go to
step 5. Otherwise, loosen the pivot bolt and adjustment nuts (see
diagram).
4) Rotate the mast until it is plumb with the level, then tighten the
pivot bolt and alignment nuts. If you are still unable to align the
mast with the level, try using wooden shims. If they do not
correct the problem you will need to find another site to install
the satellite dish antenna.
5) Use a pencil to mark the location of the top left outside hole of
the base plate (see diagram) onto the brick surface.
6) Set the mast aside and drill a 3/8-inch x 3-inch hole where you
made the pencil mark.
7) Clean out the hole and insert an expansion anchor. The anchor
should fit snugly, so you may have to use a hammer to gently
tap the anchor until it is flush with the brick surface.
