Attach the Base Plate to the Vehicle
Before final tightening of the base plate bolts, it is recommended to install the support bracket or
roof mount kit loosely before final tightening to ensure alignment of all components. Once
alignment is achieved, all bolts can be tightened according to these instructions.
See Figure 5-7 for dimensions for the mounting hole pattern on the base plate. Use the base
plate to mark and drill mounting holes in the mounting structure.
Figure 5-7 Base Plate Dimensions
Move the mast into the desired mounting position, noting the desired mast orientation. Bolts, lock
washers and hex nuts, 3/8
inch or M10 (not provided) can be used to secure the base plate to the
support structure. Bolt length depends on the specific application and is to be determined by the
installer. The recommended installation torque for an M10 stainless steel fastener is 28-33 Nm
(245-290 in.-lb.). The recommended installation torque for a 3/8 inch stainless steel fastener is
21-27 Nm (190-240 in.-lb.). The hardware kit includes 3/8 bolts (1.5 inches [38 mm] long),
washers and lock washers that can be used if the length fits the application and when attaching
to the optional shelf bracket. The installer must determine if the bolts provided are the proper
length for the application. It is recommended to use a thread-locking compound in addition to
lock washers or other thread-locking methods.
