3.Use a screwdriver to remove the two metal knockouts.

4.Insert the U-bolt through the rear panel; then, attach and tighten the nuts.

7.Thread the cable through the U-bolt and around an object that is a part of or permanently secured to the building structure or foundation, and from which it cannot be removed; then, fasten the cable ends together with a lock.
