STEP 3. Assemble dish to backup using
bolts and nuts provided, Figure 4.
STEP 4. Mount dish on roof in upright
position. Rotate clockwise to stop, Figure 5.
Dish will be toward back of vehicle when in
stowed or travel position. The word FRONT
is embossed on the base. This should face
front of vehicle. Secure to roof using screws
(provided). The travel bracket should be
mounted to roof 6-1/8" from base of dish,
toward back of vehicle. See Figure 6.
NOTE: Apply non-hardening sealing compound
to screw heads, coax access hole and edge of
gasket under mount base.
Install the vent tube on the back of the mount
base (This is the side opposite the word
FRONT). The hole for the vent tube is shown
in Figure 6A. CAUTION: DO NOT seal hole
in vent tube. Put sealant around the outside
of the vent tube, approximately 1/2" from end.
Push the vent tube into the hole. The sealant
will seal the hole as you push in. Leave
approximately 2 to 2-1/2" of the vent tube
extending from the hole. Put a small amount
of sealant on the roof under the vent tube end
to hold in place.

DO NOT PAINT top of Base Plate or around
Rotating Gear Housing.
STEP 5. Facing the front of the dish, note the coax
attached to side of the feed arm. Measure 24" of
coax from this point. Do not cut. Put coax around
mount base, Figure 5. Fasten cable clamp in hole
in mount base (check roof template in this manual
for correct location) at the end of the coax cable
measure, Figure 5.
STEP 6. Apply approved sealing compound over
mounting screw heads.
STEP 7. Feed coax through the roof using cover plate
(included with hardware), Figure 7. Weatherproof cable
entry by applying sealant under lip of roof-thru plate and
where cable enters roof. Attach plate to roof with screws
provided. Apply sealant over screws and around edge of
roof-thru plate, making sure cable entry is sealed. Secure
cables as necessary to prevent whipping. If downlead
connection must be made on top of roof, make sure to
weatherproof connection!
