Mounting the Mast
Step-by-step Instructions for Mounting
on Lap Siding
1. Locate the center of a stud where you want to mount the
mast foot.
If possible, choose a position where the mounting foot fits on
one siding board. When the mounting foot spans two pieces
of siding, it should positioned so that most of the foot is on
the top board.
Make sure you locate and secure the mounting foot to the
center of a wall stud. Do not mount the dish near the
edge of a stud.
Hint: 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 to the
location of the studs.
2. Hold the mounting foot in a position so the center line is
centered on a stud.
