The ANT2020 consists of an off-air bracket and hardware, an 
offset mast, and eleven inch extension, and a swaged tube for
non-vertical mounting. The bracket may be used with a satellite
dish or alone to mount this off-air antenna.

For vertical mounting, place the off-air bracket behind the Satellite
Mounting Bracket and follow the mounting instructions that came
with the satellite system. Insert eleven inch extension into offset
mast. Drill a hole through both and secure the two together with
#10 self tapping screw. With the bracket secured to the wall or
other vertical surface, mount the offset mast assembly to off-air
bracket using U-bolts, mast clamps, lockwashers, and nuts as
shown. Adjust the offset mast assembly so the off-air antenna is
horizontal and does not interfere with the DBS antenna.

The off-air bracket may be used alone to mount an off-air anten-
na. Mount the off-air bracket to the wall with the four lag bolts 
supplied and mount the offset mast to off-air bracket as shown.

For non-vertical mounting, place the off-air bracket behind the
Satellite Mounting Bracket and follow the instructions that came
with the satellite system. With the off-air bracket secured to the
non-vertical surface, mount the swaged tube to the off-air brack-
et using U-bolts, mast clamps, lockwashers, and nuts shown.
Mount offset mast to swaged tube. NOTE: If additional off-air
antenna height is needed or desired, insert eleven inch extension
into offset mast. Drill a hole through both and secure the two
together with #10 self tapping screw. Adjust the swaged tube and
offset mast/offset mast assembly so the off-air antenna antenna is
horizontal and the mast does not interfere with the DBS antenna.
Drill a hole through offset mast/offset mast assembly and swaged
tube. Secure the two together with #10 self tapping screw. NOTE:
Be sure to route coaxial cable through the slot provided at top of
offset mast when making coaxial connections.
