Adjusting antenna azimuth and elevation

1039740-0001 Revision B

Checking the azimuth base starting position

Before making any azimuth adjustments, ensure that the azimuth lockdown bolts
are centered in the curved slots in the azimuth base. See

Figure 26

If the bolts are not centered in the slots:

From underneath the azimuth base, ensure that the four

⁄

inch azimuth

lockdown nuts are loose.

Use a

⁄

inch wrench to turn the fine azimuth adjustment bolt until the

lockdown bolts are centered in the curved slots.

You should not have to turn the two inner nuts on the adjustment bolt, but if
they are loose, tighten them.

Leave the lockdown nuts loose so you can adjust azimuth.
