Follow these steps to set the antenna’s LNB to the 
skew angle you noted in Step 16.

a. Turn off and unplug the receiver(s).

b. Disconnect antenna power at the switchplate.

c. Remove the antenna’s radome, if you 

installed it earlier in Step 8e. 

d. Locate the LNB on the back of the antenna’s 

e. Loosen the two wing screws on the base of 

the antenna’s feed tube, located in the center 

of the reflector (see Figure 38). These wing 

screws secure the LNB in place.

f. Adjust the LNB clockwise or counter-

clockwise until the skew arrow on the LNB 

points to the skew angle you noted in Step 16 
(see Figure 39).

 

If the skew angle is greater 

than +15°, subtract 180 to get the equivalent 

negative skew angle and set the LNB to that 
angle instead.

g. Tighten the wing screws to secure the LNB in 

place.

h. Reinstall the radome (as explained in 

Steps 8e-f on page 10).

Disconnect power from the antenna and the 

receivers before you adjust the LNB. The 

antenna’s moving parts can cause injury.
