Mounting the Mast
Mounting the Dish On A Pole
Materials Needed to Mount the Dish on a Pole:
(1) 1-1/4" inner diameter Schedule 40 galvanized steel pipe with
a measured outer diameter of 1.6"
(3) bags quick-setting concrete
Tools Needed to Mount the Dish on a Pole:
bubble level
screwdriver
hammer
hacksaw
shovel or post hole digger
pencil
Important Considerations:
• Do not install the pole in wet or marshy areas.
• The pole must go at least 3 feet below the surface.
• If the length of pipe above ground is too long, guy wires may
be needed to increase the stability of the mount in windy
conditions.
• You will need to ground the pole in addition to grounding
the dish and coaxial cable.
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 dish be
located more than 20 feet from overhead power lines.
IMPORTANT
In this mounting method, a pole
that has been secured in the ground
with concrete replaces the mounting
foot and mast assembly that was
supplied with the DSS
®
dish. The
dish is held on the pole by the
sleeve of the LNB support arm.
