STEP 3.4B: ATTACHING THE MOUNT TO YOUR DWELLING
(120 CM DISH)
The mount should be attached to your dwelling before putting the dish assembly on it.
When fastening it to your wall or roof, etc., make sure that the top portion is “plumb”;
you can get it right by using a spirit level on both the front and side of the top piece.
It is important to affix the mount firmly to your structure with the appropriate fasteners so
that the wind can’t move it. The dish support mounting assembly requires an area
of approximately 9 square feet to accommodate the mast mount foot and the two
support struts.
Note: Plumb means vertical in all directions. A flagpole is plumb.

Here is how it can be done:
1. Place the mount foot on the surface location
where you intend to attach it to the structure.
2. Mark the location of one of the 2 holes and
remove the mount.
3. Drill the hole and attach the mount foot with
the one fastener only.
4. Place a spirit level on the top and side of the
foot and pivot the foot to make it level and
plumb. Drill the other hole while the mount foot
is still properly in place. (Alternatively, you can mark the hole, remove the mount,
then drill)
5. Attach the mount with the 2 fasteners; seal the holes with silicone to prevent water
damage to your dwelling.
6. Install the mast to the mount foot using the supplied fastener. Orientate the mast so
that the short curved portion will face vertically.
7. Place a spirit level on the front face of the short curved portion of the mast and adjust
the mast to a vertical position. Tighten the mast mounting bolt.
