STEP 4. Attach reflector to backup assembly, Figure 6.
STEP 5. Attach
Attach coax cable clamp at screw hole on front of mount base.
DO NOT CLAMP THIS SECTION OF CABLE. Must be free to move when rotating unit.
STEP 6. Install remaining mount base screws. Install the vent tube on the back of the mount base. (This is the side opposite the word FRONT.) The hole for the vent tube is shown in Figure 8.
CAUTION: DO NOT seal hole in vent tube. Put sealant around the outside of the vent tube, approximately 1/2” from end, Figure 8. Push the vent tube into the hole. The
