86 Installation / Dish Assembly
Attaching the LNB
The LNB attaches to the LNB support arm. To do this step, you will need the LNB
mounting bolt, washer, and nut from the hardware packet. You will also need to
remove the LNB from the packaging. The tools you will need are a Phillips head
screwdriver and the tools required to install an F-type connector (you will only need
this if the cable is not pre-terminated with an F-fitting). If the F-type connector you
are using is not weatherproof, you will also need some type of coax cable sealant. This
sealant prevents moisture from seeping into the LNB through the coaxial connector.
Most LNB failures are due to moisture penetration. Therefore, always use some type
of sealant or a weatherproof connector to protect this connection.
Use the following steps to install the LNB onto the LNB support arm:
1. Route the LHB cable through the foot, mast, and LNB support arm.
