1.Attach the reflector to the support arm:

The top of the mast should slip on easily into the antenna clamp. Make sure that the top of the mast has reached the pivot bolt running through the top of the antenna clamp collar. The antenna should move from side to side easily once it is on top of the support arm (Make sure that the mounting foot assembly is tightened before setting the antenna on top).
