    trouble installing motor on KU dish

    I am getting a lot of different answers as to what latitude or elevation I should use. Should I start over and make sure I have the pole mount inserted correctly? should I also zero out the motor since I used it to see if it would move?

    I forgot to mention the pole clamp. Installing it upside down was the only way the screws would line up. Maybe I am wrong and it will line up. Have to go take a look at it tomorrow.

    trouble installing motor on KU dish

    Before I put the motor on there I had successfully got signal on 97w. The elevation for that was somewhere around 44-45. 91w is not that far from 97w so the elevation should be similar. The degree markings are only on one side of the dish. I just noticed that on the motor, one side says...

    trouble installing motor on KU dish

    The motor says latitude instead of elevation so I set it to 38°. According to the instructions that came with the motor for my latitude the dish should be at 24°. here are some pictures of what it looks like set up. The reason I was wondering about the dish aimed so far the ground is that the...

    trouble installing motor on KU dish

    I can't get to the dish until tomorrow to take a picture. The center of the bolt is where I should put the elevation. Just to double check my bad math, I live in st louis mo. Latitude 38, longitude 90. I come up with 46* on the motor and 24* on the dish. So I should be starting out on 91w or...

    trouble installing motor on KU dish

    OK I was able to get everything put together. Now I'm having an issue with the elevation on the dish because I do not have a marker that shows where you're at with elevation. my dish elevation is supposed to be at 24 but I can tell just by looking at it it it is not right because it's pointed...

    so my dish is probably fine without those brackets? I haven't got a chance to get back out there and mess with the dish yet. it would probably be an easier install without having to deal with the brackets.

    trouble installing motor on KU dish

    It has been a while since I first installed the dish and the instructions that came with it are gone. The dish is a Digiwave DWD80T 33inch.

    trouble installing motor on KU dish

    so here's some pictures of what I'm working with. i'm not sure if the pictures fully show what I'm talking about but the post is in the way of the bolt going through to connect on the top bolt

    trouble installing motor on KU dish

    That is probably correct. The instructions that came with the dish were not very good. I was wrong and connected them together instead of with the post. I will try that.

    trouble installing motor on KU dish

    I took the pole clamp out attempting to make it fit. Those two support arms that come together with a bolt and nut are blocking any pole from sliding through. If I take those support arms off will it make the dish weak?
