Step 2 – Make sure all bolts are secure.  Slide the system into place over the bracketing.  Note the heavy side of 
the case must be positioned over the aluminum rail at a far end, as shown in the right image above. 
 

 

Step 3 – Line up the four holes on the top rails over the T-nuts.  Secure the case to the rails with the four bolts. 
 

 

Step 4 – Move the complete system on top of the vehicle.  This normally takes about four people, but it can be done 
with two stronger individuals.  Note that the heavy end of the mobile system is mounted on the front of the vehicle. 
You have the choice of putting the .98 meter dish reflector on or not.  With the dish on, the system is ready to be 
used any time.  If the dish is off, the case lid top can be secured, but it’s not ready to use.
