Step 3: Install the antenna/cable
1. Insert the 2 U-bolts through the back of the rotor
section of the drive unit.
2. Place the remaining 2 brackets over the ends of the
U-bolts.
3. Put a washer and nut on the very end of the U-bolts
to keep the brackets in place.
4. Position the brackets and nuts/washers so that they
leave just enough room for the antenna mast to go
through.
Note: Use no more than 3 feet of antenna mast between
the rotor and the antenna itself.
5. Lower the antenna mast between the brackets and the
rotor. Tighten the nuts. Moderate tightening with a
10mm or adjustable wrench will cause the teeth to
grip the mast securely.
