WHAT'S IN THE DSS DISH CARTON?

The DSS dish carton contains the following parts:

*  mounting foot assembly and mast
*  dish (or reflector)
*  LNB (Low Noise Blocker) converter
*  LNB support arm assembly
&  hardware packet

ASSEMBLING THE DISH

The bolts you need to assemble the dish are in the plastic packet that came
in the DSS dish carton. As you handle the dish parts, avoid scratching the
surface.  Scratches can damage the protective surface.

Most of the dish parts were preassembled for you at the factory.  You will
be given detailed instructions in this guide for any required assembly.

Attaching the Dish to the LNB Support Arm

1.  Locate the hardware packet that came with DSS dish.

2.  Press the mounting bracket of the LNB support arm to the back of the
    dish, matching the four square holes on the bracket to the bolts on
    the back of the dish.

3.  Lightly screw a washer and a self-locking nut on the portion of the
    screw that sticks through the back of the dish and mounting bracket.

4.  Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the remaining bolts on the dish.

5.  Tighten the four self-locking nuts.
