Install Banding Strap Kit:

Step 1: Assemble Fixed Retainer Block from the Band Kit

Mark the strap at least 4-6 inches from the end and fold the strap at the mark. Strike the strap at the bend to create a sharp radius. Slide the strap
through the Fixed Retainer Block so that its bend will pass over the beveled end of the Block. (Figure 1)

Step 2: Assemble the PM-24-6UP-G to the strap

Insert the free end of the strap through the slots on the side of the pole
mount channel, then through the Sliding Retainer Block, non-beveled
end first (Figure 2).

Step 3: Determine Strap length for Pole

Holding the Fixed Block firmly against the pole, overlap the strap. Move the Sliding
Retainer Block up against the Fixed Retainer Block so that their two beveled edges
meet each other (Figure 2).

Step 4

Move the Sliding Retainer Block back at least 1”-2” and fold the strap at the Sliding
Retainer Block’s beveled end. Strike the bend to form a sharp radius. Trim away the
excess strap material leaving 6” or more of left over material. A Longer tail length

provides more effective locking. Feed any excess strap material through the

Carriage Bolt to easily pass through the Retainer Blocks (Figure 3 and 4).

Pole mount slots, if necessary.

Step 6

Place the strap assembly around the pole, at the final mounting height and secure
the Retaining Blocks with the Carriage Bolt, Flange Nut and Flat Washer. Be sure
that the Pole Adapter is oriented into the right direction and with the bolt assembly
on the opposite side of the Pole Adapters (Figure 2 and 4).

Step 7

Tighen the Carriage bolt assembly until all slack has been removed from the fully
loaded assembly. Retainer blocks must have a minimum of 1/2” gap after fully
tighten. Do not over tighten (Figure 5).
