3. Separate the messenger (ground) wire from the coaxial cable.
Separate only the amount required to install the coaxial cable
through the LNB arm. (Sony dish owners skip to next step.) Push
only the coaxial cable through the bottom of the mast and out the
top. Pull about 2 feet of cable out of the top. Loop the cable and
push it through the LNB support arm as shown below.
4. Place some silicone grease on the LNB connector and connect the
end of the coaxial cable to the LNB. (Sony dish owners: clip the
coaxial cable to the LNB arm and skip to step 8.)

5. Insert the end of the LNB into the end of the LNB support arm
(push any extra coaxial cable back through the support arm).
6. Locate the special hex retainer nut and insert it into the LNB
mounting hole on top of the LNB support arm.
7. Locate the phillips head screw and insert it into the LNB mounting
hole from the bottom of the LNB support arm. Tighten the screw
with a screwdriver
8. Locate the grounding hardware (bolt, star washer and nut).
9. Insert the bolt as shown below and attach the messenger (ground)
wire to the foot of the mast (you may want to trim the extra
messenger wire before attaching). You will connect the other end
of that wire to the grounding block at the building entry point.
Step 3: Route the cable
through the mast.
Step 4: Connect the coaxial cable
to the LNB.
Tip
If you have a dual-output
LNB, and are planning to
connect your dish to two
separate receivers, you
should route both cables at
this time.
Tip
The hex retainer nut must
be inserted into the top of
LNB before the phillips head
screw is inserted into the
bottom of the LNB.
Otherwise it is very difficult
to thread the screw to the
nut.
Note
When using a pole mount,
you need to attach
the grounding wire to the
metal pole using a 1 1/2”
grounding clamp.
Steps 5-7: Secure the LNB to support.
Step 9: Attach the messenger (ground)
wire to the mast foot with the nut,
star washer and bolt.
