STEP 1 CHOOSE A LOCATION FOR THE CMU BRACKET THAT WILL SEE A CLEAR VIEW OF THE SKY. THIS
WILL ENSURE GOOD GPS RECEPTION.
STEP 2 ENSURE MOUNTING SURFACE IS FREE OF ANY IMPERFECTIONS THAT MAY PREVENT THE
MAGNETS FROM MATING FLUSH AND SECURING TO THE RAILCAR SURFACE.
STEP 3 THREAD THE WIRE ROPE THROUGH THE FERRULE AND AROUND ONE OF THE BRACKET FEET AND
BACK THROUGH THE FERRULE AS SHOWN BELOW.
MAKE THE WIRE LOOP TAUT AROUND THE BRACKET FOOT SO THE SAFETY TETHER CAN NOT BE
REMOVED OVER THE MAGNET. (SEE SECOND PHOTO BELOW) USE ELECTRICIAN PLIERS TO CRIMP THE
FERRULE.
STEP 4 TAKE CAUTION THAT THE TETHER DOES NOT CAUSE A TRIPPING HAZARD OR GET TANGLED IN
OTHER EQUIPMENT.
STEP 5 IF THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE WIRE ROPE IS NOT NEEDED, PULL THE EXCESS WIRE THROUGH
THE SECOND FERRULE, CRIMP, AND CUT OFF ANY EXCESS WIRE ROPE.
