4. Hang the antenna on the strand about 36” from the ports on the side of the SMG. For thicker 3/8” strands, reverse
the orientation of the clamp so that the larger concave side faces the strand. Insert the carriage bolt through the
back of the bracket and tighten the hex head nut, lock washer, and flat washer against the clamp on the front of
the bracket, torquing to 79.7 – 88.5 in-lbs (9 – 10 N-m). Repeat for the second bracket.

5. Attach the antenna cables to the SMG Antenna ports on one end and to the antenna housing on the other. Torque
connectors to 15 – 20 in-lbs (1.7 – 2.3 N-m).
6. Properly ground the SMG by connecting a #6 AWG wire from the grounding lug on the outside of the enclosure
to either a driven ground rod or the strand ground on the pole to which the unit is mounted. Apply anti-oxidant
compound (e.g. Noalox® or equivalent) to the ground connection. Torque to 44.3 in-lbs (5 N-m).
