I think what you are showing is a non polar mount. I could be wrong.
See pic 2, this is an older tek2000 6ft dish, has a polar mount

See pic 1, this is the "new" tek2000 6ft dish, has a different mount with no declamation adjuster

Pookah
Could you take closer pictures again.my does look different from my but it hard to tell. I just don't think my would riselike the instructions said it's made to do

Yeah that would be fine for a picture.the direction remind me of some swing set directions

It is raining here, so I borrowed the image from the thread I pointed you to and cropped and added text to it. Hopefully it clears things up for you.

This is my first cband that I put up. I been fooling with ku since the early 90s.just a little bit different animal

I was think of buying from them, with the problems you've had I take it that would be negative review at this point

Well the instructions are not good.they have the instructions of a swing set that you buy at Walmart. It good and very strong build. Don't be scared about buying one but you will run into hickup along the way. One more thing I don't like is that you can't talk to the owner, I think they have phones in Canada

Yeah...that's why follow the thread I did on my install as I had the same experiences you did. Folks can learn from what I did that worked right and what didn't work right. Tek certainly needs a better install manual but it's a Chinese made dish so they did that thread I've referenced before on their web site. It was very helpful but not complete.

When you put the dish together assemble it on the ground but leave all the bolts very loose and roll it over to the mount. Elevate the mount until you can get a few bolts in and then slowly wiggle everything around until the bolts line up and then tighten them slowly going around the dish and it should pull into symmetry. I had no luck installing one panel at a time on the mount.

I was thinking about one at a time l'll wait and see. How heavy is all the panels on s ten footer

 

[Arion]

Not too heavy. It's just a big dish. I rolled it over to the mount and then had to put a couple of 2x4 pieces of wood under the dish. That lifted the dish enough to get two of the bolts on and then I went behind the dish to hold the dish to the mount at the top of the frame and just pulled backwards and rotated the dish horizontal. Looked like a big bird bath then and that enabled me to get a couple more of the bolts in the frame. If I would of left all the bolts on the dish itself loose and with the threads barely making contact with the nut then the rest of the bolts would of lined up right away. You can see from the pictures in the other thread how some of the bolts wouldn't align with the mount. Once everything was loose it settled right in. And then you snug up the bolts like you would a wheel on your vehicle....little bit at a time in a star pattern.

I did mine a section at a time. Did two (2) at once on the top, as no ladder to reach the top part. That is where I started and finished on the bottom. The last panel was a bit obstinent but did go. Did it all by myself, so it is doable. As said by Arion, don't really want to tighten anything until have it all together. Be careful and pay attention to how the pieces mate, even edges, and it will come together.

Have fun.

Tek2000 doesn't have a phone so you can talk man to man, he hides behind his email, so he don't half to listen to you. I been very nice to him and he is doing me this way.

Here's what I found. They went to a lot of trouble to keep their phone number hidden. If you check in the body of the email they sent you, you can locate their IP address and track them down with it and likely get a contact number. No one is invisible on the net.
