DANGER
AVOID Power Lines!
When following these
instructions, take extreme care
to avoid contact with overhead
power lines, electric lights, and
power circuits. Contact with
power lines, electric lights, or
power circuits
may be fatal. It
is recommended that the
DIRECTV satellite dish be
located more than 20 feet from
overhead power lines.
LEVEL
NOT LEVEL
Step 1: Hold the mounting
foot in position.
Step 2: Make sure the mounting
foot is level.
Important Considerations
• The wall anchors used must have a strength of at least 300 pounds of pullout pressure.
The use of B4015 or equivalent double-expansion anchors is recommended.
• Do not mount the DIRECTV
®
Multi-Satellite dish under an eave or overhang that may
block or partially shadow the DIRECTV satellite dish.
Mounting Instructions
1. Hold the mounting foot in position on the mounting surface.
2. If you are mounting on a vertical or sloped surface, use a carpenter’s level to ensure
that the center line is vertical. This is an important step to ensure that the DIRECTV
satellite dish will stand exactly plumb and level.
3. Mark the eight outside holes on the mounting foot.
Eight B4015 or equivalent double
expansion anchors
Eight #20, 1/4" x 3" machine screws
Eight 5/16" washers
