3.5 Antenna Mount Installation

1.   Read these instructions before beginning installation. Caution
should be used. Qualified persons experienced with antenna
assembly and installation are required for installation.
2.  BridgeWave Communications Inc. disclaims any responsibility
or liability for damage or injury resulting from incorrect or unsafe
installation practices.
3.   The antenna has been formed to a very close tolerance
parabolic shape. Careful handling and assembly is required to
avoid denting the reflector, which would degrade antenna
performance.

1. Attach the upper pole mount.

Figure 32

Confirm that the Mount is
centered as shown.

Tighten bolts Securely
