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
Figure 2

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
