The different assembly steps are shown below:

Connect the feed-horn with the LNB unit using the
correct screws. Remember the o-ring.

Insert an o-ring at the WR-75 wave-guide
interface on the transmitter.

Connect the transmitter to the LNB unit using the
correct screws.

Mount the feed support structure on the feed-
horn.
