This procedure is optional. You may have to use this procedure if
you are not using an RG-6 quad-shielded cable, or if it is required
by local codes.
1. Pick a spot on the ground near where you installed the
satellite dish for the ground rod installation. Call the utility
company and ask them to mark the ground around the
spot for buried utility lines. Make sure that there are no
underground pipes or cables there.
2. Use a sledge hammer to drive the ground rod into the ground
at the spot marked as safe by the utility company. Six to 10
inches of the rod should remain exposed.
3. Attach the 2-3/8-inch ground clamp 13 inches from the base
of the metal pole mount.
4. Attach the ground rod clamp to the ground rod.
5. Bend one end of the 14 AWG copper ground wire in a
1-1/2-inch loop.
