 Style 5399 
VHF antenna.
Tools required:  As needed to secure mount 
to surface, drill and drill bit for ¼” screws; 
screwdriver; wrench or pliers
Installation Instructions
Choose a mounting location that is as high as possible, as free 
as possible from obstructions, and as far as practical from other 
antennas or strong sources of RF. Use ¼” bolts and washers (sold 
separately) to attach the mount securely to the surface you choose. 
For other types of surfaces, you may need other types of mounting 
hardware (not supplied). Be sure to use only stainless steel 
hardware.
1.  Using the base of the Ratchet Mount as a template, mark the 
location for the mounting holes. Drill ¼” holes.
2.  Attach the Ratchet Mount to the mounting surface.
IMPORTANT:  If the thickness of the mounting 
surface is not adequate to support the antenna under 
expected stress, a wooden back-up pad (not supplied) 
should be applied underneath the mounting surface 
during installation.
3.  Assemble the antenna to the Ratchet Mount, being careful not to 
damage the antenna’s cabling, if any.
For a streamlined look, the cable may be routed through the 
hole in the side of the mount. To preserve the mount’s lustre, apply 
automobile wax or metal polish.
