I've been reading a few posts and think I have been doing the fine tuning wrong. Which bolt/bolts do you loosen to fine tune the elevation and which do you loosen for the azimuth?

For elevation, I've been loosening the one right next to the fine tune knob and leaving the other 2 snug. Is this wrong?

THANKS!

The two on the bottom front.

Other way around. The one that controls the knob needs to be tight [ but not overly tight] the two on the outside need to be loose.

Thanks. This is actually good news since I was having trouble getting those signals peaked! :)

Oh and don't forget to tighten everything after done.

And NEVER loosen the one on the elevation fine tune slider (lag bolt) and the two fine tune lockdown bolts at the same time. Your dish can flop right over if you do that.
