You could be right bud, camera angles make it difficult to tell.I think he said he was getting 50% should be ninety. And I have installed a few. But I was only trying to help. Trust me that rig is off.
I will go on the garage roof and take photos of it see if that helpsLooks to me like the bracket on the pole is not square. But that could just be the way you took the picture 😆
I haven't tighened them anymore from when I was getting 60-65%Looks to me that the clamps on the motor have been overtightened. You can see the bends in them, this will have deformed the other bracket on the motor side and could be causing your alignment issues.
yes I can see thatLooks to me that the clamps on the motor have been overtightened. You can see the bends in them, this will have deformed the other bracket on the motor side and could be causing your alignment issues.
It definitely looks like the motor is tipped forwards. An inclinometer app on your phone will give you conformation and it might be that you just need to adjust the motor elevation to compensate.yes I can see that
does that mean I have to get new clamps now as well ?
Okay here as promised extra photos dish pointing at 0Just a hint if you are going to take a pic of rig from roof move motor to 0 = dead straight if it is dead straight = 3 red dots.
Sorry late replying to you all I have been working away from home so thought I would reply to all you great replies.Repeating what Ferret said, there needs to be a straight line from the dish, to the motor, all the way to the pole.
Also, there should be a line/mark on the base of the motor pole; that should line up with the middle of the dish bracket too.
Obviously, my crudely drawn line on MS Paint won't be exact 100% straight, but its just to give you an idea.
Yes your right -2 issues I can see without looking further
Over tightened and misaligned brackets

yes I will and need to before the poor weather starts in autumn and winterIf the motor is at zero then in the third picture the dish on the motor stub looks to be pointing slightly west.
There should be a centre line on the motor stub to align your dish bracket centrally to it.
As i have said before it is difficult to tell with pics of dish setups.
It's something you can check though
