Technical data

Remove the two indicated strut-support setscrews, and attach the base angle to the

corresponding strut support using the supplied 1/2 inch clamping nuts and the previously

removed strut-support setscrews as shown in Figure 34.

WARNING: Azimuth brakes have been factory set. Do not readjust brakes to facilitate the use

of actuators.

Securely tighten the remaining mounting hardware to achieve the clamping force.

Follow directions for “Acquiring a Satellite”.

Repeat the entire procedure for the remaining strut assembly.

After the adjustments have been made, the manual actuator should be removed. The

following steps provide the procedure for the proper removal of the manual actuator

assembly.

Remove the manual actuator assembly by ﬁrst removing the hardware securing the actuator to

the base angle.

NOTE: The adjustment kit assembly should be removed after the antenna has been adjusted.

Store the manual actuator assembly and the corresponding hardware in a dry area for future

use.

Remove the remaining clamp segments with the corresponding hardware.

After the antenna is pointed at the satellite, tighten all azimuth and elevation set screws to 35

foot-pounds.

If you are assembling a motorizable pedestal mount (P/N 208800) follow the directions

for ground mount assembly before beginning this section. The following steps provide the

procedure for assembling the motorizable pedestal ground mount.

Bolt the azimuth pivot assembly (top and bottom) brackets to the ground mount assembly using

5/8 inch hardware (hex bolt, ﬂatwasher and hex nut) as shown in Figure 35.
