1. Fit the assembled antenna/Ellipse SC onto the pole. Install the auxiliary clamps using
the M10 200 mm setscrews and secure each with a flat washer and nut.
2. Adjust the horizontal aiming as required before tightening the auxiliary brackets.
Tighten the nuts on the 200 mm setscrews to 17 N-m (12.5 ft-lbs). Add a second nut
to each setscrew and tighten the outer nuts to the same rating (while securing the
inner nuts with a wrench).
3. To adjust tilt, position an inclinometer onto the rear of the antenna and adjust the
antenna to the required angle. Tighten the Tilt Adjustment Bracket (upper) and the
Tilt Range Selection Bracket (lower) nuts to a torque of 17 N-m (12.5 ft-lbs).
