Note:   
As you raise the antenna to the 
vertical position, it’s important to 
also maintain the parallel 
alignment between the antenna 
mounting channel and the Tilt 
Base backing plate to minimize 
binding. Make sure the lower tilt-
base bolts are never excessively 
loose before raising or lowering.  
They should be first tightened 
securely and then backed off no 
more than 1/2 turn. 
 

Once the antenna is fully raised, tighten the tilt base hardware (Top: two Nyloc nuts and two flange 
nuts, Bottom: two Nyloc nuts.)
