If the TV antenna will be installed in a position on the roof that can be easily reached, you may want to wait to fold the elements out into place until after the antenna is installed.
If the antenna will be inaccessible after it is installed fold the elements into place on the ground.
Follow this procedure if you are replacing your current TV antenna and or the mounting pipe is already installed.
A. Loosen both u-bolts on the antenna main boom and second boom.
B. With the cartridge housing facing down, slip the u-bolts onto the mounting pipe to the desired location and tighten. If you haven't completely folded the antenna elements out at this point, make sure they are out far enough so the mast pipe will not restrict them from folding out after the antenna is installed..
Follow this procedure if you are installing a new mast pipe.
A. Loosen the u-bolts on the antenna main boom and second boom. If you haven't completely folded the antenna elements out at this point, make sure they are out far enough so the mast pipe will not restrict them from folding out after the antenna is installed.
B. With the antenna upside down and the cartridge housing facing up, insert the mast pipe into the u-bolts and tighten. Fig. 2
You are ready to carefully install the TV antenna on your mount.
