b. Align the base with the antenna, the base
gasket, and the pedestal top so that the
openings for the 4 screws are aligned, and
use the provided screws to screw them
together.
c. Place the rubber o-ring between the
pedestal top and the pedestal bottom,
and screw the pedestal bottom into the
pedestal top.
d. Place the pedestal gasket into the pedestal
bottom, aligning the screw holes.
3. Orient the antenna as desired and mark a
pencil line on the pedestal bottom and on the
mounting surface to serve as an alignment
index later.
4. While holding the pedestal gasket to the
mounting surface, lift off the remainder of the
antenna assembly and use the pedestal gasket
as a template to mark the locations for the
screws.
5. The provided mounting screws will
accommodate most surfaces. If you find them
too long, too short, or otherwise unsuitable
for your application, substitute wood screws,
machine screws/washers/nuts, or other
hardware (not provided). Be sure to use only
stainless steel hardware. If you find it too
difficult to start the screws, drill 7/64" pilot
holes.
6. Unscrew the pedestal bottom from the rest
of the antenna assembly, keeping the rubber
o-ring in place.
7. If you are not routing the 6" antenna lead
out through the side of the pedestal bottom,
continue with step 9.
Use a needle nose pliers to break off one of the
three cable knockouts in the pedestal bottom
to align with the cable groove in the pedestal
gasket. Refer to the alignment mark made in
step 3 to ensure the antenna cable exits the
pedestal in the correct direction.
8. Place the 6" antenna lead into the cable groove
in the pedestal gasket and align with the cable
knockout in the pedestal bottom.
9. Attach the pedestal bottom and pedestal
gasket to the mounting surface, orienting
them according to the alignment mark made in
step 3. Use the provided mounting screws (or
other stainless steel hardware, not provided)
to mount the pedestal to the surface. If you
are routing the 6" antenna lead out through
the side of the pedestal bottom, do not fully
tighten the screws yet -- the 6" antenna lead
must be free to turn. If the 6" antenna lead is
routing through the mounting surface, route it
through the mounting surface and tighten the
screws. Do not over-tighten.
10. Verify that the rubber o-ring is in place and
attach the rest of the antenna assembly to the
mounted pedestal bottom by screwing it onto
the pedestal bottom until tight.
Note: If you are routing the 6" antenna lead
