Mounting Instructions
Install the Mounting Plate—Through-Pole Mounting (Optional)
If the pole used in your installation is made of wood, you can optionally install the mounting plate using
the procedure described in this section. This is an alternate mounting method to the following two
mounting methods, which can also be used when mounting the router on a wood pole:
• Install the Mounting Plate—Poles Up to 5 Inches in Diameter
• Install the Mounting Plate—Poles Larger than 5 Inches in Diameter
What You Need
• Mounting plate included in the Pole Mount Kit.
• Hardware that you supply: 5/8-in. through bolt (length depends on the pole size in your installation),
standard washer, fender washer, nut (2 sets)
• Tools that you supply: Drill, drill bit (for 5/8-in. through bolts), and socket wrench.
Step 1 Place the mounting plate on the selected mounting location on the pole.
Step 2 Mark the drilling locations on the pole through the clearance holes and remove the mounting plate.
Step 3 Drill holes completely through the pole at the points you marked in Step 2.
Step 4 Position the mounting plate over the drilled holes. Align the clearance holes on the mounting plate with
the drilled holes.
Step 5 Place a standard washer against one of the clearance holes on the mounting plate, then feed the bolt
through the washer, clearance hole, and drilled hole. Push the bolt all the way through the pole. See
Figure 4-9.
Step 6 Follow these steps on the opposite side of the pole:
a. Place a fender washer on the end of the bolt, and then a nut.
b. Hand tighten the nut.
Step 7 Repeat Step 5 and Step 6 for the second bolt.
Step 8 Use a socket wrench to evenly tighten both bolts to finish installing the mounting plate on the wooden
pole.
