OMNI-
TILT
™ Tilt Base Tilt Action
1. To tilt downward loosen the top Nyloc Nuts to allow the Flanged Nuts to be loosened
approximately 1/2 to 1 turn.
2. Grasp the antenna base (or mounting pipe) that is bolted to the
OMNI-
TILT
™
base and lift
until the upper bolts on the front plate are out of the grooved area on the tilt base rear plate.
3. Slightly tilt until the front plate can bet set downward into its resting place.
4. Carefully walk the antenna (or antenna and mounting mast) downward.
5. Use of a chair or saw horse to support the antenna so it remains level or protruding parts of the
antenna do not hit the ground when tilted down is suggested.
Reverse the above step to raise the antenna (or antenna and mounting mast). Once raised and the
front plate is in the grooved area and fully seated, tighten the flanged nuts. The Nyloc nuts can then
be tightened against the flanged nuts to prevent them from loosening from wind vibration.
