Preparing for Installation

Securing the Mast Foot

1.If you plan to use the mast foot, use two (2) 1/4" x 1/2" carriage bolts, and two (2) 1/4" flange nuts to join the pieces through the bolt holes in the mast and the curved space of the mounting foot. Place one bolt on each side. Secure the bolts with a locking washer and locking nut. Leave the assembly loose enough to allow movement in the curved slot without damage to the painted surface on each side.

Secure the Antenna Mast Clamp:

Use two (2) 1/4" bolts and two (2) 1/4" flange nuts to join the antenna clamp with the mast. Do not tighten the bolts all the way. You will move the DIRECTV PLUS™ dish side-to-side to adjust the azimuth.
