Assemble Process

So the assemble process was sort of straightforward. It was not easy to do, but even without a manual (that did not came) you should be able to figure out what piece goes where. We were in 4 persons, we started just after lunch (about 1PM) and took us about 6 – 7 hours to get it assembled.

Metal satellite dish antenna mounted on rooftop, surrounded by buildings and wires.

White metal antenna with multiple curved arms, mounted outdoors near concrete wall and debris.

Large metal mesh satellite dish leaning indoors on concrete floorMetal fan blade assembly with mesh guard, mounted on a pole with bolts and brackets.

Concrete floor with four drilled holes, white powder dust, and a power drill nearby.

I also decided to inject Polyurethane Foam into the dish tube, so when it rains it doesn’t get filled with water. The only tip I have is: Be careful, your dish can grow balls.

White, lumpy masses hanging from a metal mesh structure at night.

So the dish assemble is done. Now we need to worry about the feed.
