ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION

INSTALLING AZ/EL CAP MOUNT ONTO POLE

TOP BRACKET

The AZ/EL Cap is factory preassembled, therefore, no assembly is required. Before installing AZ/EL Cap onto ground pole, a concrete foundation should be in place and cured.

MODEL 611612001 (Fine Tune Option)

Loosen (8) Carriage Bolts and nuts securing the “U” Bracket to the Top Bracket and “U” Bracket to (2) half clamps and swivel nut, hex nut (for optional fine tune fea- ture). (Ref. Fig. 1.0). Install AZ/EL Cap Mount onto Ground Pole. Equally tighten (4) Clamp Bolts so that Cap is held stationary on Ground Pole, but can be

MODEL 611612002 (w/o Fine Tune Option)

Make sure (4) carriage bolts and nuts securing the

(2)Half Clamps to top bracket are loose. (Ref. Fig. 1.1) Place AZ/EL Cap onto Ground Pole and tighten (4) Half Clamp Bolts to approximately 2 ft-lbs (2.7 N-m) (just enough to allow AZ Clamp to turn on pole with slight pressure). Tighten and torque (4) Carriage Bolts and Nuts in Top Bracket to 18 ft-lbs (24.4 N-m) (loosened above).
