Task 2: Install Grounding Kit

This section explains how to install the grounding rod from the Grounding Kit (Part # M-GKA) and
attach it to the lower mast of either the 2 meter and 3 meter tripods.
1. Attach the ground wire to the lower mast of the tripod using the U-bolt assembly delivered with
the grounding kit.
2. Slide the ground rod clamp over the ground rod prior to driving it into the ground. This allows
you to work with the clamp before the top of the rod is damaged from impact.
3. Using a sledgehammer, drive the ground rod into the ground as close as possible to the lower
mast of the tripod.
4. Attach the ground wire to the ground rod. Cut off excess cable length and discard or recycle.
5. Tighten the clamp bolt.
