60 cm dish assembly

Please DO inspect the dish assembly on delivery. If there is a problem please REJECT the whole delivery so you don't have to pay for return postage. Cosmetic faults, such as scratched paint, are deemed acceptable because we advise you to paint all parts (except the LNB cap that faces the dish) to protect them from the effects of sun and rain. Matt paint is recommended.

Dents and distortion to the face of the dish (no matter how slight) are not acceptable and you should reject any delivery where there is such damage. Slight rim damage is usually permissible if it does not affect the dish face.

If any parts are missing, please contact our SALES department, within 24 hours of delivery, and state which parts are missing. Please use the descriptions as shown on the diagram, below, and please include the link to THIS page for our Sales girls to click on.
