POINTING THE SATELLITE DISH
16. Repeat at least one iteration of the sequence beginning at
step 12 to be sure that you have acquired the strongest possi-
ble signal. Adjust azimuth, then elevation, then azimuth
again and continue until there is no improvement in signal
strength.
17. The three satellite dish mast clamp bolts must be tightened
to complete the alignment process, but the act of tightening
them can cause loss of signal strength. Monitor the signal
strength while tightening the clamp bolts in the following
sequence:
a. Tighten the top nut until the signal strength begins to
degrade then back off until you have regained the peak
signal.
b. Tighten the bottom nut until the signal strength begins to
degrade then back off until you have regained the peak
signal.
c. If you cannot tighten either the top or bottom nuts without
losing signal strength then go to step f.
d. If the top and bottom nuts are fully tightened then also
tighten the middle nut and go to step 18. You have com-
pleted step 17.
e. Go to step a to repeat the sequence.
f. If the top and bottom nuts cannot be completely tightened
without loss of signal, further elevation adjustment is

necessary. Go back to step 13 and begin the sequence
again.
18. While watching the signal strength number to ensure that it
stays at maximum, tighten the elevation nuts in the follow-
ing sequence:
a) Snug the left-hand nut but do not completely tighten it.
b) Snug the right-hand nut but do not completely tighten it.
c) Fully tighten the left-hand nut (torque to 12 ft.-lbs.).
d) Fully tighten the right-hand nut (torque to 12 ft.-lbs.).
19. Fine-tune the polarization setting by loosening the polariza-
tion nuts just enough to enable you to rotate the satellite dish
a few degrees slowly in each direction. If the signal strength
does not change, set the polarization to the value you
obtained from page 6. Otherwise, set the polarization at the
setting where you peaked the signal.
20. While monitoring the signal strength number to ensure that
it stays at maximum, tighten the polarization nuts.
21. After fine-tuning the satellite dish, erase all marks previ-
ously made on the mast. Mark the present position with a
permanent marker.
