4)Using a carpenter’s level, plumb the satellite dish antenna mast in at least two different

locations on the side of the mast, as shown. These two measurements should be at right angles to each other. If the mast is plumb (aligned vertically with the bubble level), go to step 5. Otherwise, loosen the pivot bolt and adjustment nuts (see diagram).

5) Rotate the mast until it is plumb with the level, then tighten the pivot bolt and alignment nuts. If you are still unable to align the mast with the level, try using wooden shims. If they do not correct the problem you will need to find another install site.

6) Use a pencil to mark the location of the top left outside hole of

the base plate (see diagram) onto the cinder block surface.

7) Set the mast assembly aside and drill a ½-inch hole where you made the pencil mark.

8) Clean out the hole.

9) Install the toggler as follows: Holding the ring end of a toggler, fold the metal channel flat against the toggler and insert it into the drilled hole until you feel the channel open inside the hollow core of the cinder block. Rotate the toggler and gently pull the

ring to ensure the metal channel is flat against the inside of the

cinder block. While pulling the toggler toward you to apply tension, slide the push-cap until it is snug against the cinder block. Break the ring along the center perforation and bend the two straps away from each other until they break at the push-cap.

Toggler installation steps.

10) Install the mast assembly onto the cinder block surface using a 3-inch x ¼-20 machine screw (see diagram). Tighten the screw enough to secure the base

plate, but leave it loose enough to enable you to adjust the base plate.

11) Verify that the mast is still plumb and adjust if necessary.

12) Mark the locations of the other three outside holes on the cinder block surface.

13) Remove the base plate from the cinder block.

14) Drill three ½-inch holes for the outside holes.

15)Repeat steps 8 through 12 to install togglers in the three drilled holes.

16) Install the base mast assembly using the 3-inch x ¼-20 machine screws and four 5/16-inch washers.

17) Tighten the four machine screws.

With the base plate and mast installed, proceed to the section titled “Attaching the Reflector onto the LNB Support Arm” later in this chapter.
