Assembling and Installing the Mount
Do not attempt to install the rear cab mount in the rain or in any wet conditions. Install in dry conditions only.
Failure to install in accordance with product manufacturer's installation and assembly instructions could result in
property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
1. Before starting, choose a location on the rear of the
tractor for installation. The chosen location should
provide a rigid structure where the top of the rear cab
mount base can be securely installed to the tractor. For
best performance, try to find a location that will enable
the antenna to be as high as possible in order to avoid
potential blockages to the satellite line-of-sight.
Blockages may be caused by other vehicle accessories or
the trailer itself.
Ensure that the antenna will not exceed the maximum
legal clearance height of 13 feet, 6 inches when installed
on the mount.
The rear cab mount shall be mounted to the isolated air
ride cab.
If the location lacks a rigid structure, it may be necessary
to reinforce the chosen location before installing the
rear cab mount. Consult your vehicle manufacturer to
determine the best location for installing the mount and,
if applicable, where and how to reinforce the vehicle for
installing the mount.
2. Before installing the rear cab mount, clean the location
where the mount will be installed to the tractor.
3. Verify that the antenna will receive adequate signal
strength in the chosen location before permanently
mounting the rear cab mount base.
4. Position the rear cab mount base over the location for
installation, making sure that the top of the mount base plate
is oriented upwards. Keep in mind that the antenna should
be level front-to-back and side-to-side for best operation.
5. Using the rear cab mount base as a guide, mark locations
on the tractor for drilling pilot holes. There are 15 holes
on the base plate in a 3 x 5 configuration. Before drilling,
make sure that pilot holes will meet the following criteria:
a. Pilot holes must be drilled through the four outside/
corner holes of the rear cab mount base.

b. The top two corner holes must be securely fastened
to a rigid structure.
c. At least six total pilot holes must be drilled, including
the four outside/corner holes.

6. After marking the locations for drilling pilot holes, drill at
least six pilot holes.
Consult with the vehicle manufacturer for assistance
in determining the appropriate fastening method and
materials for a secure installation.
7.
Then, install the rear cab mount base to the tractor.
8. Once the rear cab mount base has been securely installed,
carefully slide the pivot plate over the top of the rear cab
mount base. Then, align the isolated holes on each side of
the pivot plate with the isolated holes on each side of the
rear cab mount base.
