Steps:
- Before you begin, be sure you have all parts and tools needed for assembly and a construction area that is at least two meters in diameter.
- Lay two triangular sections side-by-side with pointed edges and bases adjacent to each other.
- Since the sections are not flat, it is advisable to prop one end up on a box or similar object to give more stability during assembly.
- Use the 10 mm nuts and bolts to attach the two plates together. First, hand thread each bolt/nut pair, then use two 10 mm wrenches secure them.
- DO NOT install a nut and bolt in the THIRD hole from the center (pointed end of the section). This is where the Pipe Ring Bracket is attached later on.
- After firmly fastening the two sections together, return to the third hole which was left empty. In addition to a nut and bolt, you will also need a pipe ring bracket.
- Install the 10mm nut/bolt again but with the bolt passing through the single holed side of the bracket. Hand thread and use 10mm wrenches to tighten.
- Be sure the bracket is NOT installed between the edges of the dish sections.
- The direction the bracket faces does not matter.
- Repeat steps 2-3 until you have assembled the entire reflective dish, complete with all six sections.
- Remember to install the pipe ring brackets in the correct place all the way around the reflective dish in the third hole from the center.
