Attaching the reflector

Follow these instructions to attach the antenna reflector to the

 

reflector bracket.

 

Note: This task is easier if someone assists you.

1.Orient the reflector so the HughesNet logo on the front is near the top, as shown in Figure 16.

2.Lift the reflector and align the four mounting holes on the back of the reflector with the four mounting holes on the reflector bracket. See Figure 17.

Note: To make it easier to position the reflector and insert the screws (steps 2 and 3), you can adjust the elevation of the Az/El and reflector bracket assembly beyond the 80° mark on the elevation scale so the surface of the reflector bracket that attaches to the reflector is nearly horizontal. Then you can lay the reflector on the bracket, with the holes in the reflector facing the bracket. This method (not illustrated here) is especially useful when one person installs the antenna.

To use this method you must loosen the fine elevation adjustment nuts and elevation lockdown bolts identified in Figure 48 on page 60. Be sure to tighten the elevation lockdown bolts before laying the reflector on the bracket.
