ROOFTOP MECHANISM INSTALLATION
Safety First – Have you read and understood our Safety Warnings on Page 5 ??
Pick an area anywhere on the roof of your mobile home that will allow the unit to
be mounted as flat and level as possible with good support that will permit the
dish, once fitted and raised, to have a full 360 degree rotation and elevation range.
Thoroughly clean the area where the base of the assembly will be affixed of all
dirt, debris and wax using methylated spirits. The mechanism preferably should
be fitted so that the dish is pointing rearward on the vehicle when it is in the
shutdown position. If however space dictates that this is not feasible, the unit can
be mounted across the vehicle ONLY in the rear 1/3 of the rooftop. Do NOT mount
the unit across the roof (ie left to right) in the front 2/3 of the vehicle. Should no
other space be available other than across the roof in this area then you will need
to fit a wind break to the roof. Please contact us at
support@vansat.com.au
as we
have (for purchase) a variety of optional jigs available for difficult installations.
Carefully transport the rooftop mechanism to the roof supporting it by its
base only. DO NOT carry it by lifting the rotating mechanism or dish. THIS
IS IMPORTANT. Failure to transport the mechanism correctly can result in
damage to the internal workings or deforming of the satellite dish.
IMPORTANT – Support the
mechanism by slipping your
hands under either side of the
stainless base.
(see arrows on left picture)
DO NOT carry or attempt to
turn the revolving part (the bit
with the white cover). DO-
NOT carry by, or attempt to
move the dish. Damage may
result if incorrectly handled.
