STEP 8 - Coaxial Cable

A. Slide the rubber boot over the end of the coaxial cable.

B. Attach the F-connector to the coaxial cable.

C. Attach the coaxial cable to the cartridge housing.

See FIGURE 8.

D. Slide the boot over the boot collar on the housing.

NOTE: If your coax cable has factory connectors on it, clip

small end of boot off, so boot will slip over connector.

STEP 9 - Mounting Antenna to Mast

A. Loosen nuts on the main boom and boom brace

mast clamps. See FIGURE 9.

B. Slide both mast clamps over the mast, pointing the

front of the antenna (small end) towards stations and

tighten the boom brace mast clamp securely.

C. Let the main boom mast clamp slide down the mast

until the boom brace supports the main boom. Tighten

the main boom and brace mast clamps securely.

D. To prevent wind whipping, the 75 ohm coaxial cable

downlead may be secured to the mast with tape or

plastic wire ties.

Lightning Protection for TV Antenna

A. Mount the lightning arrestor or 75 ohm coaxial

grounding block as close as possible to where the

75 ohm coaxial cable downlead enters the house.

B. The ground wires for both the mast and the

downlead should be copper or aluminum wire,

number eight or larger.

C. The downlead wire from the antenna to the lightning

arrestor and the mast ground wire should be secured

to the house, spaced four to six feet apart.

NOTE: In the case of a "ground up" antenna installation, it

may not be necessary to ground the mast if the mast extends

four or more feet into the earth. Consult a TV serviceman for

the proper depth in your location.
