STEP 2. Attach the mount foot to wall (roof, mast, etc.,)
making sure that the mount foot is vertical (90
o
). See
Figure 4. Attach ground wire to mount foot (wrap wire
between bolt/lag screw and mount foot).
STEP 3. Adjust mount pipe so that it is plumb vertically.
See Figure 5.
STEP 4. Set antenna onto mount pipe. See Figure 1.
STEP 5. Feed coaxial cable(s) up through the mount
pipe and through the LNBF feed. See Figure 1.
STEP 6. Attach coaxial cable(s) to LNBF. See Fig. 1.
STEP 7. Attach LNBF to antenna. See Figure 1.
STEP 8. Set elevation on antenna; align colored edge
of clamp with degree marking. See Figure 6.
STEP 9. Run coax cable to point where you plan to
enter the house. Be sure to secure the cable so that
it will not ap in the wind (Cable Clips Model SW-0030
are ideal for this task).
INSTALLATION
STEP 1. After conrming that you have a clear line-of-
sight from where you wish to mount the antenna, you
must determine how you are going to mount the antenna
and run your coax downlead to your receiver. Figure 3
shows a typical home installation. As indicated in the
gure, you must ground both the antenna and the coax
downlead before it enters your home. You can order all
the accessories through Winegard or they can be found
at most hardware stores.

ANTENNA ASSEMBLY
STEP 1. Assemble antenna as shown in Figure 1,
except for LNBF and base/tube assembly.
STEP 2. Feed coaxial cable(s) through feed arm as
shown in Figure 1.
STEP 3. Attach LNBF to feed arm. See Figure 1.
SITE SELECTION
STEP 1. Using the digital satellite receiver determine
your azimuth (direction) and elevation. Refer to receiver
manual to perform this step.
STEP 2. After you have determined your azimuth and
elevation step outside to nd the best location for the
antenna. You will need a compass and a protractor or
another means of determining elevation. Remember
that the antenna must have a clear line-of-sight to the
satellites. See Figure 2. The satellite signal will NOT
travel through buildings, heavy tree cover and other
obstructions.
