INSTALLING THE SATELLITE DISH/CAP ASSEMBLY ONTO THE MAST
PARTS NEEDED
• Satellite dish/cap assembly
• Mast
1. Lightly grease the area at the end of the mast or metal pole
that will be covered by the AZ/EL cap. Doing this ensures it
will be easy to adjust the azimuth. Any grease will do. You
can use automotive grease, or household grease such as
Vaseline or lard.
2. Use a 1/2-inch open-end wrench to loosen the three clamp
nuts so the collar will be able to slide over the mast or metal
pole.

TOOLS NEEDED
• 1/2-inch open-end wrench
• Grease
3. Lift the satellite dish/cap assembly and slide the AZ/EL cap
collar onto the mast tube or metal pole (see Figure 36). The
satellite dish should be facing toward the satellite.
4. Tighten the three mast clamp nuts all the way; then loosen
them just enough to move the satellite dish side to side and
adjust the azimuth. The clamp bolts should be as snug as
possible, but still allow the satellite dish to be moved from
side to side.
