Attaching the Vantage Pro2 ISS to the Anemometer 
Extension Tube
For Vantage Pro2, the anemometer extension tube provided as part of the 
mounting tripod will be used to support the ISS, which does not come with its 
own pole. You can mount your ISS on this tube with both sides together or 
separate. For better access to the hardware securing the rain collector side, 
remove the rain collector cone by rotating it counter-clockwise and lifting it 
off of the base.
Mount your ISS and anemometer on the anemometer extension tube together 
or separately. See the illustration below for more information. Make sure the 
swaged end of the tube is pointing downward as you secure the ISS to it. 

Remember when mounting both sides together that whichever side of the ISS 
is mounted first, the U-bolt from the opposite side ALSO must be placed 
around the pole before you tighten anything. (If it is not, there is no way to 
slide it in later.)
