Mounting the Mast
Installing a Spacer
When the mounting foot spans two pieces of siding, it should be
positioned so most of the foot is on the top board. A spacer
should be installed to help hold the bottom of mounting foot in
place. The spacer can be made of either solid wood or plastic.
1. Measure the area under the mounting foot that needs to be
filled.
2. Trim a wood or plastic spacer to fit the area that needs to be
filled.
3. Loosen the lag screw in the lower center hole of the
mounting foot.
4. Insert the spacer under the mounting foot.
5. Use a pencil to mark the location of the two lower outside
holes on the spacer.
6. Remove the spacer and use a 3/16" bit to drill the two holes
you marked on the spacer.
7. Slide the spacer under the mounting foot and align the holes
in the spacer with the holes in the lap siding.
8. Put washers on the 5/16" x 2" lag screws, insert the screws
into the four outside holes and securely tighten all screws.
9. Go to “Final Approach” on page 63 for instructions on
leveling the mast.
