Installation Instructions
Choose an antenna mounting location that is as high as
feasible, as free as possible from obstructions, and as far as
possible from other antennas and strong sources of RF.
1. Using the base of the Swivel Mount as a template, mark the
location for the four mounting holes. Drill ¼” holes.
Note: When drilling berglass, place a wooden backup block
behind the surface if possible, to minimize push-through
damage.
2. Assemble the Swivel Mount by joining its two sections and
securing them with the hex-head bolt, washer, lockwasher and
nut (supplied). This joint can be in two positions, according to
whether you’re mounting to a vertical or horizontal surface.
3. Attach the Swivel Mount to the mounting surface using
hardware (not supplied) that is applicable to the mounting
surface.
IMPORTANT: If the thickness of the mounting
surface is not adequate to support the antenna
under expected stress, a wooden back-up pad
(not supplied) should be applied underneath the
mounting surface during installation.
4. Assemble the antenna to the Swivel Mount, being careful not
to damage the antenna’s cabling, if any.
5. Loosen the wing nut on top of the Standoff Bracket and slide
the retainer bar out of the way. Gently place the antenna in
its mounting position in the U-shaped opening in the bracket.
For 1
1
/
8
” and 1” antennas, put the appropriate reducing adapter
(supplied) in the opening.
