11. Leveling the base is done by tightening or loos-
ening the flange nut under the base, Figure 5.
Using an electronic level is recommended to ad-
just base so there is
no more than +/- 1°
off
level in all directions
.
Place level on base of unit if
possible. (If your level will not fit inside the base
plate, place on outside edge.) Level front to back
and side to side. Raise and lower by adjusting
flange nut under base. After leveling base, se-
cure inside base with rubber washer, rubber side
down toward base, and lock nut.
7. Clean roof area where the base feet will be
attached to the roof. Do not erase your marks!
8. Put approved sealant in the areas marked
for the base feet. Place base feet on top of the
sealant and screw down using (2) of the #10
screws (provided) for each foot.
9. Unscrew the locknuts in the base and re-
move the base from feet. Secure feet by
installing four more #10 screws in each base
foot.
10. After all base feet are secured to roof, put
sealant around edge of feet and over screws.
Replace base on leveling screws and reinstall
nut and rubber washer on leveling screw. Do
not secure until after leveling (next step).

ROOF INSTALLATION, continued

Place the unit on the roof in its permanent loca-
tion and mark around each base foot, Figure 4.
(Make sure the
rear adjustable base foot is par-
allel to the center line of the coach
.)

GPS installation —
The GPS antenna is pre-wired and has a 3 foot
cable running through one of the connectors.
When deciding where to place GPS antenna, DO
NOT SECURE!
After wiring the receiver and initializ-
ing your system, you will need to test the system.
Determine location for GPS antenna. It is recom-
mended you place the GPS antenna between unit
base and side edge of vehicle, 90° from rear
mounting bracket,
at least 3 feet from dome!
Figure 6.
The recommended location for the GPS antenna
is based on having a level location and a clear
view of the sky. If another location, further from
the base, is desired, loosen the connector and
pull out additional wire in the base.
You must re-
wrap and re-tie the GPS cable inside the dome
to prevent interference with the LNBF.
Failure to
do so will result in malfunction!
Tighten con-
nectors when done.
IMPORTANT!
The GPS must be located away
from obstructions on roof of vehicle.
You must
have a clear view of the sky for proper opera-
tion.
