WARRANTY DATA HAS SHOWN THAT MANY MAST ANTENNAS ARE BEING IMPROPERLY INSTALLED DURING NVI/PDI. THIS CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF THE ANTENNA, OR DAMAGE IN CAR WASHES. USE OF THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WILL INSURE THAT THE MAST ANTENNA IS CORRECTLY INSTALLED.

INSTALL THE MAST ANTENNA FINGER TIGHT ON THE MOUNTING STUD. THEN, USING AN ADJUSTABLE WRENCH, TURN THE BASE OF THE ANTENNA 1/4 TURN, BEING CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE FINISH.

AN ADJUSTABLE WRENCH IS RECOMMENDED BECAUSE THE VARIATION IN THICKNESS OF PAINT ON THE BASE MAKES A SIZED WRENCH MORE LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE PAINT ON THE MAST ANTENNA BASE.
