NOTE:

Mounting bolts must go completely through the wooden pole and be secured from the back with a large

washer and nut.

Procedure:

Unpack the enclosure and galvanized brackets; turn

the enclosure facedown on a soft surface.
Slide one bracket up through the lower mounting

straps on the rear of the enclosure. The bracket's

flanges face away from the enclosure. Secure the

lower mounting brackets using the 3/8" x 3/4" hex

bolt. See Fig. 2-1.
Mark the position for the upper mounting bracket on

the utility pole. Drill a 3/4" hole completely through

the pole. Secure the bracket with a 5/8" machine bolt,

washer, and nut. Do not fully tighten the bolt at this

time. See Fig. 2-2.
Position the enclosure on the upper mounting

bracket. It may be necessary to slightly rock the

enclosure and pull downward to properly seat it on

the bracket. Center the enclosure on the pole. See

Fig. 2-3.
Mark the hole for the lower mounting brackets. Lift

the enclosure off the top bracket and drill the lower

hole.

Slide the enclosure back into place over the top bracket. Align the lower bracket with the

hole and secure it with a 5/8" machine bolt, washer, and nut. Both enclosure mounting

straps must rest securely on the brackets. Tighten both brackets until the flanges seat

into the wood. See Fig. 2-3.
The next step is assembling and attaching the conduit to connect the new PWE-SG

enclosure to the legacy enclosure.
