3.Optional: If you adjust the antenna elevation now to the coarse elevation value, before installing the reflector, it’s easier than making this adjustment after the reflector is attached. You can make this adjustment now or do it as part of the antenna pointing procedure. (See Setting coarse elevation on page 61.)
4.Rotate the Az/El and reflector bracket assembly until the reflector side is oriented in the general direction of the satellite.
If necessary, loosen the canister nuts just enough to allow the assembly to rotate.
5.Snug the three canister nuts just enough to prevent the assembly from rotating. Do not tighten the nuts at this time.
