The Mast-Mounting Kit accommodates masts from 1.5" to 3" in
diameter.
To install the Mast-Mounting Kit:
1 Position the Bridge at the desired position on the mast, with
the Bridge’s underside facing toward the mast and the front
panel facing down, as shown in Figure 2.4
2 Sandwich the mast between the underside of the Bridge
and the mounting bracket, fitting the mast into the bracket’s
toothed cut-outs.
3 Place a split lock washer on each of the two hex bolts,
sliding them down to the head of the bolt.
4 Fit the bolts through the bolt holes in the mounting bracket
and then into the mounting holes in the underside of the
Bridge.
5 Tighten the bolts securely, until the split lock washers are
flattened between the bolt heads and the mounting bracket.
