Installation Instructions
Choose a mounting location appropriate to the device you will
attach to the extension mast. Be sure to follow mounting location
suggestions included with the device.
For antennas, the recommended mount is Shakespeare’s Style
409-R or 410-R Mounting kit (each sold separately). Attach the
extension mast to the antenna before mounting the antenna.
1. Thread the antenna’s or device’s cable through the Extension
Mast and through the nylon bushing on the extension’s bottom
ferrule, if required.
2. Attach the antenna to the Extension Mast and hand tighten
securely. Be careful not to damage or strain the cable.
3. Mount the mast and antenna/device assembly using a
Shakespeare 409-R or Style 410-R Mounting Kit (each sold
separately) according to the directions included with the mount
you choose.
IMPORTANT: If using the Style 4008-4 extension mast results
in more than a 10’ (3 m) antenna/mast assembly, DO NOT use a
ratchet-type mount – you MUST use a Style 408-R or 409-R kit
(each sold separately) with upper support bracket. In all cases
where the antenna/extension assembly is more than 10’ you
MUST use an upper support bracket such as Shakespeare Style
408-R (sold separately), mounted at least 3 to 5 feet (.9 m to 1.5
m) from the bottom of the antenna.
4. Route the antenna’s or device’s cable to your transceiver or other
device. For cable routing, follow the instructions included with
your device.
Cleaning Instructions
To clean the extension mast, use mild dishwashing liquid (one
that is not harsh to the hands and without ammonia) in lukewarm
water.
