Installation/Mounting theDish 53
Using wall anchors, the foot can be mounted to most brick walls. Wall anchors insert
into a hole drilled into the brick. These anchors come in a variety of types and sizes.
When selecting a wall anchor to use, select one that will work in brick and has at least
300 pounds of pull out strength. An example of a wall anchor for the DSS dish is a
114" Rawl brand double expansion anchor (BB4015).
When installing the mounting foot in brick, use four wall anchors in the outside holes
of the mounting foot. This is due to the different densities of various types of brick.
Use the following instructions install the mounting foot on a brick surface:
DANGER!
When following these instructions, take extreme care to avoid
contact with overhead power lines, lights, and power circuits.
Contact with power lines, lights, and power circuits may prove
fatal.
1. Select a mounting location. This location should be relatively flat. A good way to
check this is to hold the mounting foot on the wall. If the wall is flat, all four comers
of the mounting foot will rest on the wall. If the wall is not fiat, one or several
comers will lift from the brick surface.
2. Hold the mounting foot in position and, using apencil, mark one of the outside holes.
3. Remove the mounting foot. Then drill a 112"hole at the location just marked. This
hole should be at least 1-3/4" deep (The depth of this hole depends on the length
of the machine screws).
Note: A 1/2" hole is for a 1/4" expansion anchor. The size of hole you drill
will depend on the wall anchor you use, follow the manufacturer' s recommen-
dations for drilling the correct size of hole.
4. With a brush or air, clean the dust from the hole.
5. Insert the wall anchor.
6. With a 1/4" x 20 x 1- 1/2" machine screw and 1/4" washer, attach the mounting foot
to the wall. This screw should be tightened until the mounting foot is snug against
the wall.
