Cover Removal andInstallation
The Dish cover is held in place by four sets of
C-brackets and locking pins as shown below.
It is easier to remove the dish cover if the pins and
brackets are not supporting the entire weight of the cover.
To ease the stress on the pins, loosen the 3/4” grade
rigging bolt on the positioning yoke and angle the SB-1
so that the cover is facing upwards.
While pressing down on the cover, push the button at
the top of the pin in, while pulling the pin out of the C-
bracket.
Once each of the pins are removed, the cover can be
easily lifted off the SB-1.
To install the cover, reverse these steps.
High Frequency PodInstallation and Removal.
The High Frequency Pod is stored inside the
SB-1 during transportation. To install the Pod onto the dish
first loosen the 3/4” grade bolts on the yoke so that the dish
is pointing upwards. The pod assembly is stored in an
internal compartment at the top of the dish.
Note that the legs of the pod assembly rest between the
foam inserts. Firmly grasp the pod and slowly slide it out
of the internal compartment. Be careful not to twist the pod
assembly during removal as you may damage the legs.
When the pod assembly is removed, carefully set it down
away from the dish, close the compartment, and reposi-
tion the dish so the compartment opening is facing
upward.
The high frequency pod will be attached to the SB-1 using
the same c-brackets and locking pins which held the dish
cover in place
With the pod assembly in hand, position yourself in front
of the dish and angle the legs so that they are approxi-
mately aligned with the c-brackets. Make sure that the leg
with the EP-4 pin connector is matched up with the bracket
closest to the EP-4 pin connector on the dish.
