Materials Needed
Each section in this chapter gives you a
complete list of the materials and tools
you will need for that particular
mounting surface.
CAUTION
Use caution when installing, adjusting
or dismantling the dish and mast. The
weight of the dish may cause the dish
and mast to swing down and strike
you, a bystander or nearby objects. This
could cause personal injury or damage
to the dish. Never insert your fingers
inside the mast. Always grip the mast
around its outside circumference.
