installation instructions

First, find a good location for the dish. use the Starlink app to scan the sky at various points on the roof.

Next, tackle the pilot holes. figure out that you had a rafter about 16″ from the edge of the roof (check in the attic for the location of the rafters). With that information, you will be able to mark the location of the two pilot holes for the Pivot Mount. You need to secure this mount to a solid structure, like a rafter. Preferably use a drill, a 1/4″ drill bit to create the pilot holes for the lag screws.

With the pilot holes drilled, use the supplied sealant tape to prevent water leaks. This is a two-step process. The first step is to ball up the smaller squares and press them into the pilot holes. The second step involves laying down a strip of sealant tape over the pilot holes.
Tip: Use one of the lag screws to make an indentation in the sealant where the pilot holes are, so you can more easily locate where to drive in the lag screws.

 The next step is to drive in the lag screws.

put the Pivot Mount in place (arrow facing up), using the indentation, mentioned previously as a guide to where the pilot holes were.
start the lag screws by hand until you can feel they are in the pilot holes. use impact driver and a 9/16″ socket to tighten them, securing the Pivot Mount to the roof.

With the Pivot Mount installed, it’s time to get the mast tube vertical. use a level to adjust the angle of the Pivot Mount until it is plumb. The mast needs to be vertical or you will get an error message in the Starlink app. When plumb, tighten the adjustment knob.

first, install the mast and adapter plate. The mast piece from the Pivot Mount kit simply snaps into the mast adapter plate. The Starlink cable is routed up through the mast, out the top of the adapter plate, and then plugs into the Gen 3 dish. Then the whole assembly just replaces the Gen 3 kickstand, sliding into place where the kickstand used to be.

Make sure you loosen the adjustment knob first. Don’t tighten it down just yet, you will need to perform the manual alignment in the Starlink app first.

Plug in the Starlink cable to the router, and power everything on. Let it boot up for about 15 minutes. By that point, the dish will have booted up. Aiming for the Gen 3 dish is pretty simple. Just open up the Starlink app. If you don’t see any error messages, you can go ahead and tighten down the adjustment screw. If you do see a message that says “Starlink Misaligned”, just tap on it to open the alignment tool. Rotate the dish by hand as directed, until the app says it is aligned. Tighten the adjustment screw on the mast and double check it is still aligned. Click “Done” in the app when finished.
