Attaching the reflector
Follow these instructions to attach the antenna reflector to the 
reflector bracket. 
1. Orient the reflector so the HughesNet logo on the front is 
near the top, as shown in Figure 16
2. Lift the reflector and align the four mounting holes on the 
back of the reflector with the four mounting holes on the 
reflector bracket. See Figure 17.   
Note:
This task is easier if someone assists you.

Note:
To make it easier to position the reflector and insert 
the screws (steps 2 and 3), you can adjust the elevation of the 
Az/El and reflector bracket assembly beyond the 80° mark on 
the elevation scale so the surface of the reflector bracket that 
attaches to the reflector is nearly horizontal. Then you can lay 
the reflector on the bracket, with the holes in the reflector 
facing the bracket. This method (not illustrated here) is 
especially useful when one person installs the antenna.
 
 
To use this method you must loosen the fine elevation 
adjustment nuts and elevation lockdown bolts identified in 
Figure 48 on page 60. Be sure to tighten the elevation 
lockdown bolts before laying the reflector on the bracket.
