Mounting and Downtilt Bracket Kits #36210002 and #36114003
Mounting Bracket Kit #36210002 - Standard Mounting Only
Attaching the Pipe Brackets to the Antenna
Step 1 - Assembling the Threaded Rod
Thread a nut (3) onto a threaded rod (2) until the nut is approximately 1½” from the end of the rod. Add one galvanized washer (4) to the 1½” projection of the rod. Repeat this step using another threaded rod (2). Slide the threaded rods through the holes of a pipe bracket (1). Add a stainless steel washer (5) to each end of the rod. Repeat
Step 1 with the remaining two rods (2) and a pipe bracket (1).
Step 2 - Attaching the Pipe Brackets to the Antenna
Slide one of the Step 1 assemblies through the holes of the upper “Z” bracket of the antenna, making sure that the
stainless steel washers (5) remain between the pipe bracket and the “Z” bracket of the antenna. Secure with galvanized washers (4), lock washers (6) and nuts (3) on each rod. Slide the other assembly through the holes of the
lower “Z” bracket of the antenna, securing each rod with galvanized washers (4), lock washers (6) and nuts (3).
Refer to Figure A. The antenna is now ready to install on a mounting pipe.

Installing the Antenna on a Mounting Pipe
Step 1 - Positioning the Antenna
Position the antenna at the desired location with each pair of threaded rods (2) straddling the mounting pipe.
Step 2 - Bolting the Antenna to the Mounting Pipe
Install a pipe bracket (1) using one lock washer (6) and one nut (3) on each threaded rod (2), as shown in Figure B.
Tighten to secure.

Mounting and Downtilt Bracket Kits #36210002 and #36114003
Downtilt Bracket Kit #36114003 - Used with Mounting Bracket Kit #36210002
In order to downtilt the antenna, both the Mounting Bracket Kit #36210002 and the Downtilt Bracket Kit #36114003
must be used together. Using the Parts List on page 1, ensure that all parts for both kits were received.
In this installation guide, references will be made to the “upper downtilt bracket” assembly and the “lower downtilt
bracket” assembly. These are pre-assembled units of the Downtilt Bracket Kit #36114003. The upper downtilt bracket assembly can be identified by the tear-drop links (3). The lower downtilt bracket assembly can be identified by the
long angle brackets (2). Refer to Figure C and Figure D on page 4 for details.
Adding the Mounting Bracket Kit to the Pre-Assembled Downtilt Bracket Kit
The first step in the process is adding Mounting Bracket Kit #36210002 to the pre-assembled units of the Downtilt
Bracket Kit #36114003. Note that while item numbers are duplicated on the Parts Lists (i.e. items 1-6), they do not
correspond to the same parts. With that in mind, in this section we will reference part numbers from the Mounting
Bracket Kit #36210002 with an asterisk “*” after the number. For example (3) references the link, tear-drop from Kit
#36114003, whereas (3*) references a nut from Kit #36210002. Refer to Figure C and Figure D on page 4 for
details.
Step 1 - Assembling the Threaded Rod
Thread a nut (3*) onto a threaded rod (2*) until the nut is approximately 1½” from the end of the rod. Add one galvanized washer (4*) to the 1½” projection of the rod. Repeat this step using another threaded rod (2*).
Step 2 - Attaching the Pipe Bracket
Take a pipe bracket (1*) and insert one Step 1 Assembly into each end of the pipe bracket. Add a galvanized washer (4*) to each end.
Step 3 - Attaching the Pipe Bracket to the Upper Downtilt Bracket Assembly
Attach the pre-assembled “upper downtilt bracket” assembly to the pipe bracket assembly of Step 2 by inserting the
protruding 1½” threaded rod end through the angle bracket (1). Secure each end with a lock washer (6*) and a nut
(3*). Tighten to secure.
Step 4 - Attaching the Pipe Bracket to the Lower Downtilt Bracket Assembly
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 and attach the pipe bracket assembly to the pre-assembled “lower downtilt bracket assembly”
by inserting the protruding threaded rod ends through the 2” leg of the angle bracket (2) and secure with a lock
washer (6*) and nut (3*). Tighten to secure.

Attaching the Downtilt Brackets to the Antenna
Step 5 - Attaching the Upper Downtilt Bracket Assembly to the Antenna
On the upper bracket assembly, remove the nut (5), lock washer (11) and galvanized washer (6) from each of the
bolts (4) protruding from the angle brackets (1). Leave the stainless steel washers (7) on the bolts. Insert the bolts
through the holes of the upper “Z” bracket of the antenna, ensuring that the stainless steel washer remains between
the angle bracket (1) and the “Z” bracket of the antenna. Secure each bolt using a galvanized washer (6), lock
washer (11) and nut (5). Tighten to secure.

bolts (4) protruding from the angle brackets (1). Leave the stainless steel washers (7) on the bolts. Insert the bolts
through the holes of the upper “Z” bracket of the antenna, ensuring that the stainless steel washer remains between
the angle bracket (1) and the “Z” bracket of the antenna. Secure each bolt using a galvanized washer (6), lock
washer (11) and nut (5). Tighten to secure.
