Setup and Installation
1. Attaching the Mount Arm to the Pole
- Identify the pole where the mount will be installed. Ensure its diameter is between 1.1" and 2.4".
- Using the provided hex wrench, loosen the two bolts on the clamp end of the mount arm until the clamp opens wide enough to slide onto the pole.
- For larger poles (1.81" - 2.36" diameter), remove the pre-installed short bolts and replace them with the longer bolts provided in the package.
- Slide the mount arm onto the pole at the desired height.
- Tighten the bolts back down with the hex wrench until the clamp is securely fastened to the pole. Do not overtighten.
