When mounting the AQUA on a machine consider the following: 
•  Reduce damage by minimizing shock and vibration to the AQUA: Mount the radio-

modem on a solid part of the cab. 

Locate the best antenna position: Mount the entire antenna above the roofline so that it 
has an uninterrupted view. This improves the performance of the AQUA. 
Prevent signal interference: Position the antenna away from other antennas (particularly 
if the other antenna is a two-way radio), rotating beacons and strobe lights. 
Figure 4.4 shows a typical installation. 

The machine mounting kit for the AQUA comprises: 
•  Radio mount bracket (upper) 
Radio mount bracket (lower) 
Machine mount adapter plate (with U-bolts) 
Rubber shock mount kit 
Figure 4.3 shows the AQUA mounting kit and how the parts fit 
together.

To mount the AQUA onto a machine: 

1.  Bolt the AQUA into the radio mounting bracket (upper and lower brackets). 

Ensure that the radio mounting screws are all fitted with washers and lock 
washers. 

2.  Securely mount the adapter plate to the machine. Do one of the following actions:  
•  Use existing weld bosses (see Figure 4.4) 

•  Weld some weld bosses to the cab 

•  Clamp the plate to the top of a handrail at the top of the cab using the U-bolts 
3.  Bolt the radio mounting bracket to the adapter plate using the rubber shock mount 

kit. The bolts are included with the adapter plate. 

Tip – Use threadlocking Loctite (PN 33803) or equivalent to secure the bolts when you 
assemble the shock mounts. 
 
Figure 4.4 shows a AQUA mounted at the rear of a cab roof. Notice how this installation 
ensures that all of the antenna is above the roof of the cab.
