4. Attach Wedge to Starlink

Align each half of the wedge mount so the bolts reach the clear areas on the dish. Insert the provided 16mm socket head screws through the wedge and into the dish's rear mounting points. Secure the four screws using the hex wrench to fasten the wedge mount in place. Tighten all four corner screws until the bolts reach 9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft). Ensure the wedge is securely attached to the Starlink.

5. Find a Mounting Location

Your Starlink requires a clear view of the sky to maintain its connection as satellites move overhead. Obstructions will cause service interruptions. Use the obstruction tool in the Starlink App to ensure you have selected a suitable mounting location.

6. Drill Mounting Holes

Using the guide provided in the Quick Start Guide, drill four mounting holes in your desired mounting location.

Drill holes with a 7mm (9/32") drill bit.

Smooth any rough edges on the holes and ensure the area is free of debris.

The included machine screws can be used for mounting surfaces up to 19mm (0.75 inches) thick.

7. Fasten Screws

Insert the 4 x 35mm machine screws into the pre-drilled holes. Place the 4 M6 nuts onto the ends of the screws that protrude through the mounting surface. Using the 10mm adjustable wrench, tighten the machine screws to 8 Nm (5.9 lb-ft).
