5. Apply a thin layer of the supplied anti-seize lubricant to
the threads of the four 1/4"-20 bolts to prevent galling.
6. At each of the two baseplate mounting holes that you
can see without rotating the antenna assembly, place a
5/8" diameter flat washer on a 1/4"-20 bolt and insert
the bolt into the hole from above.
7. Secure each mounting bolt to the mounting surface
using a 1" diameter flat washer and a 1/4"-20 lock nut
from below.
8. Rotate the antenna assembly slowly by hand to reveal
the other two mounting holes then repeat steps
3-4 at
these two holes.
9. Tighten all four bolts until the four rubber feet on the
baseplate are bottomed against the mounting surface
and the foam seal is fully compressed. KVH
recommends that you tighten the nuts to between 25
and 40 ft-lbs (34 and 41 N-m) of torque.

10. Reinstall the radome onto the antenna. Secure in place
with the three #10-32 screws you removed earlier (see
Figure 14 on page 11 ).
11. Install a protective plastic cap ( supplied in kit ) over
each radome screw.
CAUTION
Be sure to observe the safe handling
instructions in the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) provided with the anti-seize lubricant.
IMPORTANT!
You will need to rotate the antenna assembly slowly by
hand to see all four mounting holes. You will also need
to fully install the first pair of mounting bolts prior to
rotating the antenna assembly to install the second pair
of bolts. If the antenna assembly hits a mechanical stop
with excessive force, or it hits the head of a mounting
bolt that wasn’t secured in place, the limit switch might
become damaged.
IMPORTANT!
Use caution if you’re using power tools. High
installation speeds can damage the threads.
