Let's start with the basics. If you don't have a sat meter then you'll need to take a receiver and a tv outside for the install unless you have somebody in the house that can monitor signal quality. Attach your dish to the mount and put it on your pole. Take your actuator and attach it to your mount. You'll need to know which sat is your true south and for that I would suggest dishpointer.com. Your actuator wires will go as follows:
M1- red
M2- black
sens- blue
gnd- brown

Once you get this set up properly, check the actuator to see if it moves east or west according to the buttons that you press on your positioner remote. If it goes in the opposite direction then swap out your blue and brown wires. I would suggest that you aim for c band first as its signal is easier to pull in then ku. Find out which sat is your true south and we'll take it from there. There are many knowledgable fta members here that can help you as well, your lnb frequency setting will be 5150 and your cband part of your lnbf is the one on top- one at the back is for ku.
