1. Using the base of the Swivel Mount as a template, mark the

location for the four mounting holes. Drill ¼” holes.

Note: When drilling berglass, place a wooden backup block

behind the surface if possible, to minimize push-through
damage.

2. Assemble the Swivel Mount by joining its two sections and

securing them with the hex-head bolt, washer, lockwasher and
nut (supplied). This joint can be in two positions, according to
whether you’re mounting to a vertical or horizontal surface.

3. Attach the Swivel Mount to the mounting surface using

hardware (not supplied) that is applicable to the mounting
surface.

IMPORTANT: If the thickness of the mounting
surface is not adequate to support the antenna
under expected stress, a wooden back-up pad
(not supplied) should be applied underneath the
mounting surface during installation.

4. Assemble the antenna to the Swivel Mount, being careful not

to damage the antenna’s cabling, if any.

5. Loosen the wing nut on top of the Standoff Bracket and slide

the retainer bar out of the way. Gently place the antenna in
its mounting position in the U-shaped opening in the bracket.
