Mounting the Mast
IMPORTANT Considerations
• The wall anchors used must have a strength of at least 300 pounds of pullout
pressure. The use of B4015 or equivalent double-expansion anchors is
recommended.
• Do NOT mount the DIRECTV PLUS™ dish under an eave or overhang that may
block or partially shadow the DIRECTV PLUS™ dish.

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.
Mounting Instructions
1. Hold the mounting foot in position on the mounting surface.
2. If you are mounting on a vertical or sloped surface, use a carpenter’s level to
ensure that the center line is vertical. This is an important step to insure that the
DIRECTV PLUS™ satellite dish will stand exactly plumb and level.
