Figure 8: Mounting Plate Installed on Pole with Steel Straps for a Pole Greater than 4.5 Inch In Diameter
Step 1
Assemble the straps and the mounting plate by threading the two steel straps through the band strap slots on the mounting
plate.
Step 2
Select a mounting location on the pole.
Step 3
Position the mounting plate on the pole, as needed, and tighten the straps around the pole.
Step 4
Use the BAND-IT strap tool to tighten the metal bands around the pole, following the instructions in the box that is
provided with the tool. Ensure that the metal bands are as tight as possible (approximately 7 ft lbs).
When the metal bands are tightened to the full tension, the mounting plate cannot be adjusted unless the metal
bands are disassembled or cut.
