1. Insert the threaded end of the strap hook, (the one secured to the strap) through the end portion of the “Z” mount (hole A). Take one of the loose strap hooks and insert into hole B.
NOTE: It is important to thread the nut only 1/4” onto the hook, so that it may later be tightened to take out the slack and make the strap secure to the chimney.
2.Go around the chimney with the strap; slip the strap clip onto the strap, and then secure the other end of the strap by inserting the strap into the strap hook that is in hole B. The strap clip is used as follows: (See figure 8.)
a.Slide the strap through the loop section of the clip and bend it around through the upright section of clip.
b.Bend the upright sections of the clip down with pliers, pinching the strap firmly.
3.At this time, remove any slack in the strap by tightening the nuts at holes A and B.
4.Repeat the above steps to secure the lower mount to chimney. (It is recommended that the mounts be a minimum of 18” apart.)
NOTE: Install the upper bracket just below the top course of bricks, and the lower bracket two or three feet below the upper bracket. For maximum strength, space the brackets as far apart as possible.
5.Place the mast against the mount and secure it in place using the mast support clamps and nuts.

Attic
An attic installation is the easiest, fastest and most convenient type of antenna installation, especially if you do not have easy or secure access to an outdoor area. Attic installations work best in areas where strong signals are present. Roofing materials, aluminum foil on insulation, aluminum or steel siding, metal gutters at the attic level, and metal lath under old plaster walls all can interfere with reception. Use the universal mount to secure the mast and antenna to a rafter.
