bands are disassembled or cut.

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 4.5 Inches in Diameter, page 55

Install the Mounting Plate—Poles Larger than 4.5 Inches in Diameter, page 57
Required Materials

Mounting plate included in Pole Mount Kit, page 50 .

Hardware that you supply: 5/8-in. carriage 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 13-mm box-end socket wrench
To mount the router on a wood pole:
1. Place the mounting plate on the selected mounting location on the pole.
2. Mark the drilling locations on the pole through the clearance holes and remove the mounting plate.
3. Drill holes completely through the pole at the points you marked in Step 2.
4. Position the mounting plate over the drilled holes. Align the clearance holes on the mounting plate with the drilled
holes.
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 27 on page 55 .
