Approved: R.B.

Step 2. A cable is used to strap the radio mount to the pole or pipe. First loosen the two 4-bolt clamps near

the loop end of the cable so the cable can slide free through them. Wrap the two ends of the cable around

the pole or pipe and place the ends in the two notched sections of the mount. Then pull the loop end of the

cable to take up any slack and tighten the two 4-bolt clamps with a ½” wrench to secure the cable. The nuts

at the ends of the cable can then be tightened using a 5/8” wrench to cinch the cable around the pole or pipe

to the desired tension. If necessary, adjust the bracket rotation using the 5/8” wrench on the two bolt heads.

Ensure all bolts are tight and the cable loop will not rattle against the unit in windy conditions. If the latter is a

problem, secure the loop of the cable to one of the ends of the cable with a cable-tie.

Figure 2.1 shows the AP5857 with cables attached.
