How to remove snow from satellite dish on roof.

Ravi 9th grade and raghu 6th grade came up with a simple contraption from stuff in garage to reach the satellite dish on roof and clear the snow. I think this doesn t look very good and would like to remove everything and fill the holes that are left in the. It s very handy to have. Took the hose with spray nozzle and cold water its what i had to knock it all and all was well.

Wd 40 is one of the tools that you need to prevent snow from sticking or to remove snow. Ready for superbowl now. It s important that you don t move the satellite dish at all and that you don t touch the low noise block converter or its supporting arm. To remove the dish correctly first loosen the bolts and nuts holding the dish to the mounting bracket and gently lift it off to remove the dish separately from the mount.

I had signal loss a few weeks ago with only 2 inches of wet snow on my roof mount dish. The sizes of these nuts will vary but most are 1 2 for directv or 7 16 for dish network. Do not spray the low noise block converter or its supporting arm. Will have to see what kind of crazy mix we get here over the next 2 days they re calling for just about every flavor of frozen precip at some point.

After this spray the metal dish with rain x or wd 40. Just clean the satellite dish gently of fallen leaves and debris.
