Mounting the Mast

5. Remove the mounting foot and drill two 3/16" holes in the two center hole
locations and four 3/16" holes in the four outside corner locations.
6. Use a wrench to loosen the nuts on the mounting foot so that you can rotate the
mast to access both of the center mounting holes.
7. Hold the mounting foot over the holes so that the top part of the mast will rotate
and point straight up. The mast needs to be perfectly plumb and level in order for
the dish to receive a satellite signal.
Tip
To locate a stud underneath
panel siding, locate the nails
securing the panel to the wall.
The nails usually align with the
center of the stud and provide
an easy guide.
Step 2: Center the foot on the
stud.
Mounting Instructions
1. Locate the center of a stud where you want to mount the mast foot. Make sure
you locate and secure the mounting foot to the center of a wall stud. Do not
mount the DIRECTV PLUS™ dish near the edge of a stud.
2. Hold the mounting foot in a position so the center line is centered on a stud or
solid wood surface.
3. If you are mounting on a sloped or vertical surface, use a level to verify that the
center line is perfectly vertical.
4. Use a pencil to mark the two center holes and the eight outside corner holes of
the mounting foot.
Step 3: Make sure the mounting
foot is level.
