Tighten the 2 nuts with your fingers, making sure equal lengths of threads extend past the nuts.
Properly route the cables making sure there is no sharp bends. Clamp the cables to the wall at about 6
inches away from the antenna if the cables are being hung straight from the wall. (Figure 8)
Attach the two RF cables to the mast roughly 1ft. below the RF connectors to provide strain relief. Vinyl
electrical tape works well for this without risk of deforming the RF cables. Black UV resistant zip-ties can
also be used if used carefully, but tan Nylon zip-ties rapidly deteriorate when exposed to the sun.
Use a 7/16 in. wrench to tighten each nut one full turn beyond finger tight to compress the lock washers.
(Figure 7)
Make sure the antenna is mounted in the correct direction and tighten the mounting hardware.
Waterproof the RF connectors using electrical tape or a heat shrink tube.
