Satellite Dish Installation Manual (Ver. 1)
Section 6: Pole-Mounting the Mast Bracket
Recommended Tools and Materials:
1. Post hole digger
2. Shovel
3. Concrete
4. Wheelbarrow or large pail for mixing concrete
5. Steel Pipe - 6 foot (it is recommended that you bring your mast bracket
with you to ensure you have the right size pipe)
6. Flange
7. 4 bolts with nuts ¼”
8. Cinder Block 8” square (to fit over pole on ground)
Find a place on the property close to where the cable will penetrate the wall that
has a clear view of the satellite (refer to the Azimuth and Elevation from
Section
3
) for placement of the pipe.
Screw the flange onto the pipe and insert the four (4) bolts looking up from the
bottom and attach the nuts. This will prevent the pipe from spinning in the hole.
Set aside until the hole is ready (refer to Figures 14 and 15).

Dig a hole in the ground approximately 3 feet deep and 8” round. Insert the pipe
with flange on the bottom, and fill with concrete (refer to Figures 16 and 17).
