Mounting the Mast

Mounting the DIRECTV PLUS™ Dish On A Pole

Materials Needed

(1) galvanized steel pipe with a measured outer diameter of 23/8"

(3) bags quick-setting concrete

Tools Needed

Carpenter's level

Screwdriver

Hammer

Hacksaw

Shovel or post hole digger

Pencil

Important Considerations:

Do not install the pole in wet or marshy areas.

The pole must go at least 3 feet below the surface.

If the length of pipe above ground is too long, guy wires may be needed to increase the stability of the mount in windy conditions.

You will need to ground the pole in addition to the antenna and coaxial cable.

The pole that has been secured in the ground with concrete replaces the mounting foot and mast assembly which were supplied with the DIRECTV PLUS™ dish. The DIRECTV PLUS™ dish is held on the pole by the mast clamp.

Mounting Instructions

1.Dig a hole 36" deep and 8" to 12" wide

at the mounting location.

The depth of the hole must extend at least 6" below the frost line. For most installations, a pole 6' long is sufficient, since this allows 3' of the pole to be below the ground and 3' above ground.

DANGER

AVOID Power Lines!

When following these instructions, take extreme care to avoid contact with overhead power lines, electric lights, and power circuits. Contact with power lines, electric lights, or power circuits may be fatal. It is recommended that the DIRECTV PLUS™ dish be located more than 20 feet from overhead power lines.
