threads per inch rod.
6. Place the nut and metal plate over the rod.
7. Tighten the square nuts to an approximate torque of approximately 55 ft-lbs.
8. Drill a second 5/8" (1.59cm) hole 2.5' (0.76m) directly below the first hole.
9. Ensure both clamps are vertically aligned, as shown in Figure 7.
10. Repeat Steps 4 through 6.
11. Connect the LMR 400 cable to the antenna. Be sure the connection is tight.
12. Insert the mast into the clamps.
13. Tighten both clamps evenly and securely.
