1037750-0001 Revision A
To adjust the antenna azimuth:
1. Ensure that the three 5/16-inch azimuth lockdown nuts at the
bottom of the Az/El canister (shown in Figure 36) are loose
enough that the antenna assembly rotates freely on the mast.

2. Manually point the antenna reflector as accurately as possible
in the appropriate direction as indicated on the installation
reference sheet.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to adjust the azimuth manually by pulling on the
antenna reflector or feed support arm. Doing so could cause
permanent damage to the antenna.
3. Tighten the three lockdown nuts just enough so that the
antenna does not rotate freely.
