STEP 3. Assemble dish to backup using bolts and nuts provided, Mounting Bolts Figure 4.

STEP 4. Mount dish on roof in upright position. Rotate clockwise to stop, Figure 5. Dish will be toward back of vehicle when in stowed or travel position. The word FRONT is embossed on the base. This

STEP 8. Place the nut on the threaded rod.

STEP 9. Measure and cut the threaded rod with a hacksaw. Use the chart, Figure 8, to determine the length.

STEP 10. Remove the nut over the cut end of the threaded rod. This cleans the threads after cutting.

STEP 11. Thread the cut end of the rod into the hub,

STEP 12. Install the ceiling plate. The rotate/lock lever must point toward the rear of the vehicle.

ANOTHER METHOD OF INSTALLING ROOF CABLE/ ENTRY PLATE: Attach cable to roof using cable clamp. Use sealant to seal screw heads.

Be sure rotate/lock lever is pointing toward back of vehicle and hole in ceiling aligns with hole in the ceiling plate.

STEP 5. Facing the front of the dish, note the coax attached to side of the feed arm. Measure 24" of coax from this point. Do not cut. Put coax around mount base, Figure 5.

STEP 6. Apply approved sealing compound over mounting screw heads.

STEP 7. Feed coax through the roof using cover plate (included with hardware), Figure 7. Weatherproof cable entry by applying sealant under lip of cable entry plate and where cable enters roof. Attach plate to roof with screws provided. Apply sealant over screws and around edge of roof-thru plate, making sure cable entry is sealed. Secure cables as necessary to prevent whipping. If downlead connection must be made on top of roof, make sure to weatherproof connection!
