|
Use heavy duty adhesive to mount antenna to pit lid.
|
|
Center the heat-shrink on the antenna connection and use a heat gun to activate the heat-shrink. |
|
Mount the Taggle Device as high as possible in pit using appropriate saddle clamp.
Use cable ties to neaten cable, being sure to leave enough slack in the cable so it’s longer than the pit tether in the next step. |
|
If no tether exists on pit lid, use a wire rope to tether lid.
The tether must be shorter than the antenna cable.
