3. Remove the nut and washer from the 14 inch threaded rod.
4. Drill a 5/8 in. hole through the top of an exterior wall.
5. Insert the 14 in. threaded rod through the hole in the wall. If the thickness of the wall is greater than 10 in. a longer rod may be
required. Different lengths of rod are available at hardware stores. If a longer threaded rod is needed, use a 5/8”-11 threads per
inch rod.
6. Place the nut and metal plate over the rod.
7. Tighten the square nuts to an approximate torque of approximately 55 ft-lbs.
8. Drill a second 5/8 in. (1.59 cm) hole 2.5 ft. (0.76 m) directly below the first hole.
9. Ensure both clamps are vertically aligned, as shown below
10. Repeat Steps 4 through 6.
11. Connect the LMR 400 cable to the antenna. Be sure the connection is tight.

Pole mount kit
The antenna pole mount kit is designed for the purpose of mounting the antenna to round or angled tower legs.
l The clamps can be used on round tower legs that measure from 1.25 in. to 3.25 in. (3.17 cm to 8.25 cm) OD or on angled tower
legs that measure up to 3 in. (7.62 cm) on a side.
l The center section of each clamp is welded to provide mechanical stability and all parts are hot-depped galvanized steel.
