Securing the feed horn
Secure the feed horn to the feed horn support bracket:
1.
Insert the two mounting screws through the remaining two holes on each side
of the feed horn stem.
2.
Tighten the screws with a ¼ inch Phillips head screwdriver.
3.
Fully tighten any hardware that is not tight—except, leave nuts that are used
for pointing adjustments just snug.
Installing the antenna assembly onto the mast
Follow these steps to install the assembled antenna assembly onto the mast pipe:
1.
Before you install the antenna assembly onto the mast pipe, use a bubble
level to make sure the mast is plumb.
Check the mast at two perpendicular locations, as shown in Figure 23.
Note:
The antenna mast must be plumb. The antenna cannot be adjusted to
correct for a mast that is not plumb.
