e. Apply a thin layer of the supplied anti-seize
lubricant to the threads of the four 1/2"-13
mounting bolts (see Figure 15).
IMPORTANT!
Be sure your 1/2"-13 mounting bolts extend
between 1.5" (38 mm) and 1.75" (44 mm) into
the baseplate to ensure sufficient thread
engagement.
f. Using a 3/4" socket, secure the antenna to the
mounting surface using four 1/2"-13 bolts,
lock washers, and flat washers from below
(see Figure 15). 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 bolts to
between 34 and 40 ft-lbs (46.1 and 54.2 N-m)
of torque.
