Apply the included Petrolatum Primer to one half of the threads of the four

threaded rods.

Insert the ends of the threaded rods coated in Petrolatum Primer into the

pedestal, matching the hole pattern drilled in step 2.

Tighten the threaded rods

using a 5 mm hex wrench

To avoid damaging the pedestal, you should stop tightening the threaded

rods when they no longer turn easily.

Install the isolators

over the threaded rods, and push them securely

onto the four raised locations on the bottom of the pedestal.

Mounting the Radar

Before you can mount the radar, you must first select a mounting location, and

prepare the mounting surface and the radar (Preparing the Surface and the

Radar for Mounting, page 1).

Take note of which end of the pedestal you plan to mount facing the bow

along the bow-stern axis.

If the hatch side is facing the bow, you must adjust the front-of-boat offset

on the chartplotter to receive an accurate radar reading (Front-of-Boat

Offset, page 4).

Position the included strap over the antenna, as close to the pedestal base

as possible

Hoist the radar into position, and carefully lower it onto the mounting

surface, feeding the threaded rods through the holes.

From under the mounting surface, place the shoulder washers

on the

threaded rods and feed them into the mounting surface so they fit securely.

Place the flat washers

, lock washers

, and hex nuts

on the

threaded rods.

Torque the hex nuts to 1.5 kgf-m (130 lbf-in. [11 lbf-ft.]) to securely fasten

the radar to the surface without damaging the radar or the mounting

hardware.

Installing the Antenna

Before you can install the antenna on the radar, you must securely mount the

pedestal (Mounting the Radar, page 2).

Remove the protective cover from the waveguide on the top of the

pedestal.

Align the waveguide

on the pedestal with the socket on the bottom of

the antenna

, and slide the antenna onto the pedestal.

Secure the antenna to the pedestal using the included hex bolts

and

spring washers
