Final Approach
Leveling the Mast
Leveling the mast is one of the most important steps in
installation. If the mast is not level, the elevation and azimuth
settings will not be accurate. This will make it difficult to obtain
the satellite signal.
The mast must be level in both the side-to-side and the front-to-
back directions. The side-to-side leveling determines whether
the mounting foot is level. The front-to-back leveling
determines whether the mast is level.
Leveling Side-to-Side
1. If you have used a pole mount, you should have already
leveled the pole. Skip to “Final Dish Assembly” on page 66.
2. If you mounted the mast on a vertical surface, such as a wall,
you leveled the mast side-to-side when you mounted the
mast foot. Skip to “Leveling Front-to-Back” on the next
page.
3. To check whether the mast is level side-to-side, place a
bubble level on the mast as shown in the figure.
