G-858BP Backpack Mag
Operators Manual
Once the staff, sensor, sensor clamp and counterweight are installed mount the staff assembly on the
backpack using the Strap Hanger shown in Figure 13. This allows the staff weight to be supported on the
Back Pack and on the operator’s hips rather than the shoulder.

Installing the NovAtel Smart Antenna GPS™ mast
The GPS antenna mast has been mounted inside the pack frame for shipping. You must remove
the antenna mast, rotate the clamp to the left to make the greatest lateral distance from the sensor mount,
ensure the cable protection coverings are installed and then mount the antenna mast vertically on the left
side of the pack frame.
Begin by loosening the antenna mast clamp screw and removing the antenna mast from the clamp
as shown in Figure 17.
