GIBRALTERIVMOUNT
Congratulations! You have now purchased the finest dual powered Azimuth-Elevation mount
available. This unit will not only track the geosynchronous arc, but will work equally well for
satellites that are in inclined orbit, or elliptical orbit. Please follow these instructions and if you
have any questions, please call 608/326-8406 for help.
The Gibralter is designed to go with the 3.0m, 3.7m, 3.8m, 4.2m, 4.5m and the 5.0m antennas, as
all are identical in theory. We will cover the basic installation first and address each individually
as the installation requires. PLEASE READ COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
BEGINNING INSTALLATION!!
Be sure to string all 2 piece antennas on installation.
See shipping warranty for missing parts.
Sectional antennas must be handled with care not to
twist or distort sections while handling for installation
