Follow the instructions in the order they are presented.

Set the initial (coarse) antenna elevation to the initial elevation value given by the installation software, as follows:

1.Loosen the two fine elevation adjustment nuts indicated in Figure 49 so the antenna reflector can move forward and backward.

2.Loosen the two elevation lockdown bolts indicated in Figure 49, a little at a time, until you can rotate the antenna reflector forward and backward to adjust the elevation.
