trouble installing motor on KU dish

Another approach to this is:

Mount the dish back with out the motor. Find 91W, remembering to skew the LNBF properly since you are back to fixed dish. Once locked on 91W, use your digital level/inclinometer and sit it on the arm. Write down the angle, also take note of the way your level sitting on the arm.

Put your motor back on making sure your latitude is still set properly on the motor. Hook up the coax and go in the receiver activate USALS on 91W so that your motor will drive to 91W.
Make sure to skew your LNBF back to zero. Place your digital level/inclinometer on the arm and raise your dish until it matches the angle you had above.
At this point you should be real close.
Rotate the whole motor/dish assembly on the pole back and forth until you hit signal...you are almost guaranteed to hit a signal this way. You still may need to adjust the dish elev. up or down a degree or two to dial it in perfect.
DO NOT TOUCH the latitude on motor again...at least not at this point, ONLY the dish elev. until you hit signal.
Make sure to keep your motor assembly perfectly level, just like your pole. When you do have a signal and finish tightening your motor to the pole do it slowly in a cross rotational pattern, so that it tightens up evenly...if not it will pull you off level.
