Installation/Mounting the Dish
53
Using
wall anchors,
the foot can be mounted
to most brick walls.
Wall anchors
insert
into a hole drilled
into the brick.
These
anchors
come in a variety
of types and sizes.
When
selecting
a wall anchor
to use, select one that will work in brick and has at least
300 pounds
of pull out strength.
An example
of a wall anchor
for the DSS dish is a
114" Rawl
brand
double
expansion
anchor
(BB4015).
When installing
the mounting foot in brick, use four wall anchors in the outside holes
of the mounting
foot. This is due to the different densities of various types of brick.
Use the following
instructions
install the mounting foot on a brick surface:
DANGER!
When following
these instructions,
take extreme
care to avoid
contact with overhead
power lines, lights, and power circuits.
Contact
with power lines, lights, and power circuits may prove
fatal.
1. Select a mounting
location.
This location should be relatively flat. A good way to
check this is to hold the mounting foot on the wall. If the wall is flat, all four comers
of the mounting
foot will rest on the wall.
If the wall is not fiat, one or several
comers will lift from the brick surface.
2. Hold the mounting
foot in position and, using a pencil, mark one of the outside holes.
3. Remove the mounting
foot. Then drill a 112"hole at the location just marked.
This
hole should be at least 1-3/4" deep (The depth of this hole depends on the length
of the machine screws).
Note: A 1/2" hole is for a 1/4" expansion anchor. The size of hole you drill
will depend on the wall anchor you use, follow the manufacturer'
s recommen-
dations for drilling the correct size of hole.
4. With a brush or air, clean the dust from the hole.
5. Insert the wall anchor.
6. With a 1/4" x 20 x 1- 1/2" machine screw and 1/4" washer, attach the mounting foot
to the wall. This screw should be tightened until the mounting foot is snug against
the wall.
