IMPORTANT! The tie strap and spacer, and the bolts and washers must be removed
from the bottom of the dome unit prior to installation. DO NOT REMOVE
THE DOME COVER TO REMOVE THESE SHIPPING RESTRAINTS.
YOU MUST PLUG THE SHIPPING BOLT HOLES WITH THE SUPPLIED
PLUGS (ATTACHED TO TIE STRAP SHIPPING RESTRAINT).
2. Remove and discard the tie strap and spacer (KEEP RUBBER PLUGS), and the (2) bolts
and (2) washers that pass through the bottom of the base (Fig. 5).
3. Insert provided plugs into holes that were occupied by the shipping bolts. Inserted plugs

DOME LOCATION
4. Select an area on the roof for the dome unit and the location where the wiring will enter
the vehicle through the roof to the satellite receiver, controller, and 12 volt power source
inside, using the following criteria:
a) The shortest distance between the dome unit and the satellite receiver is most
desirable.
b) The dome unit requires a 28 inch diameter mounting area.
c) The dome unit should be mounted on the centerline of the vehicle.
d) There must be no “line of sight” obstructions. Air conditioning units, other antennas,
and storage areas that are too close to the dome unit may prevent the satellite
signal from reaching the dish (Fig. 6).

IMPORTANT! For installations on trucks with air shields, a bracket must be used for
mounting the dome unit. The dome unit MUST be mounted to the air ride
cab: NEVER to any structure mounted directly to the frame.
See bracket instructions for proper installation (Fig. 7).

5. Place dome unit on installation location chosen using the criteria discussed in the
previous section. Shipping restraints must be removed, plugs must be inserted in holes
(Fig. 5, Page 5), and cable connections must be positioned facing rear of vehicle.
6. The dome unit must be positioned so that both feet on each side of the vehicle are equal
distances from the roof edge. This should be checked by measuring the distance from
each foot to the roof edge. Confirm that these measurements are equal (Fig. 8).
IMPORTANT! Make sure shipping restraints are removed from bottom of dome unit and
plugs are inserted in holes (Fig. 5, Page 5).
Cable connections must ALWAYS be positioned facing the rear of vehicle.
Example of truck installation using bracket.
See bracket instructions for proper installation.

IMPORTANT! The dome unit MUST be mounted to the air ride cab: NEVER to any structure
mounted directly to the frame.
DOME INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! The dome should never be mounted so that it is tilted more than
two degrees in any direction.
IMPORTANT!
Cable connections
must always face
REAR of vehicle.

7. Mount the dome unit. Use the pre-drilled holes in the mounting feet as a guide to install
the fasteners into the roof. Use additional fasteners whenever necessary.
8. Test that the dome unit is secure by pulling upward from each foot location.
EXTERNAL WIRING
9. Plug external wire harness into wiring port on back of dome unit and tighten connection
until it clicks past the detent lock (Fig. 9).
10. Connect coax cable to coax port labeled MAIN on back of dome unit and tighten
connection. If using a second receiver, connect second coax cable to coax port labeled
AUX and tighten connection. Do not over tighten coax connections (Fig. 9).
Note: The installer is responsible for determining the most appropriate fastener to secure the
dome to the roof. Depending on the roof material, fasteners such as lag screws, well
nuts, sheet metal screws, toggle bolts and T anchors may be used, and should always
be used in combination with a roof compatible sealant.
IMPORTANT! The installer is responsible for weatherproofing all holes with sealant.
Note: The King-Dome is wired for a dual LNB. There are two coaxial ports on the back of the
dome unit. The one labeled “MAIN” MUST be connected to the main receiver in vehicle.
The one labeled “AUX” can be used for an additional receiver.
IMPORTANT! Do not remove the rubber sleeves from the coax ports. The coax cable
ends will slide inside the sleeves as they are tightened.
Fig. 9
IMPORTANT!
Coax connections will slide inside
rubber sleeves.
Coax connections should be snug.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
IMPORTANT!
The alignment tabs on the
wiring port and the external
wire harness plug must
match up when engaging
plug onto port.
YOU MUST TIGHTEN THE
PLUG UNTIL IT CLICKS
PAST THE DETENT LOCK.
(A channel lock pliers may
be used to tighten the
connection.)
