FIGURE F

Mount the antenna to your mast using the mounting plate (70) and
the hardware provided per figure F.  Refer to figure D for the mount-
ing point.  Tighten the U-bolts taking care not to crush the boom.
See "MOUNTING" on page 1 concerning orientation of mast mount,
elements and Reddi-Match.  Affix danger label (326) onto the boom
at a location that is clearly visible.

#5  - MAST MOUNT

#4 - FEEDLINE HARNESS

Slide back all four vinyl boots on the feedline harness (FL) to expose
the male PL-259 coaxial connectors.  Unthread both connectors from
the coaxial T-connector.  Apply silicone grease (116) to the outer
threads of the in-line connectors on the T-connector and re-attach
both coaxial male connectors to the T-connector.  Apply silicone
grease to the outer shells of both male PL-259 connectors.  Do not
coat the center pin or socket of the PL-259!  
Slide both vinyl boots
over the connectors until they butt against the T-connector to create
a waterproof seal.  Coat the outer threads of both Reddi-Match
connectors located on dipoles EC and ED.  Do not coat the center
pin or socket of the PL-259!  
Thread on both free ends of the feedline
harness (FL).  Note that both lengths of cable are equal.  Coat outer
shells of connectors with silicone grease (116).  Slide both vinyl boots
over the PL-259 male connectors.  Make sure the boots butt against
the connector brackets.  Tape the feedline harness as shown (fig. E).
