Before Beginning
Mount Installation:
CAUTION
Before you begin, study the installation drawing carefully. The
illustrations in this manual show typical details, but antennas vary
due to pattern requirements and tower designs, so you must go
by the installation drawing for the actual configuration of your
antenna.
Mark Mount
Locations on the
Mounting Pole
a. Starting at the top of the antenna, use a steel measuring tape to find
the location of each mount in accordance with the installation draw-
ing. Mark the mount locations on the pole.
b. Also mark the location on the pole of any accessory mounts, such as
for the power dividers or special coax line sections, to make sure
they will fit as planned.
c. If any problems appear during this process, please call Shively Labs
and discuss them with the installation designer.
