Checking the azimuth base starting position
Before making any azimuth adjustments, ensure the azimuth lockdown bolts are
centered in the curved slots in the azimuth base. See
Figure 22
on page 40.
If
the bolts are not centered in the slots:
1.
From underneath the azimuth base, ensure the four
5
/
16
inch azimuth
lockdown nuts are loose.
2.
Use a
1
/
2
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.
