1-SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 

 
To protect your antenna and receiver from lightning damage, you should 
ground your equipment. 

 

1.  To ground the antenna attach a ground wire under the nut of the 1/4-

20  x 2¼ in. long hex head screw at the end of the crossarm see  Figure 
7. Use nylon cable ties (not provided) to fasten the ground wire to RG-
213/U cable. Run the ground wire along the RG-213/U to a ground 
rod,  driven at least 4 feet into the ground.   

2.  Keep the antenna and cable a safe distance from any power lines.  
 

2-DOWNLEAD

 

 

1.  Recommended cable is  RG-213/U. 
2.  Thread the connector onto the dipole fitting. 
3.  Use provided S.S. cable ties to secure the cable to side of the 

crossarm.  

4.  Lay the cable around the cable mounting bracket and use cable ties to 

      attach it to base of the mast. See Figure 1.
