  2. With the angle adapter bracket section positioned so the open connector slots are on the bottom, attach the angle adapter bracket section to the pole mount bracket section using two 1/2 inch bolts and nuts. Tighten the nuts to 300 inch pounds (lbf-in).
  3. Position the Access Point bracket section so the bottom of the section with the straight (not bevel cut) sides is oriented toward the bottom side of the AP with the gore vent. Using a torque wrench or a ratchet and a 10mm socket, or an adjustable wrench, attach (but don‘t tighten) the Access Point bracket section to the AP-8163 with the four M6 hex flange screws.
  4. Insert two M6 hex flange screws into the bottom holes on the sides of the Access Point bracket section.
  5. With the Access Point positioned so the gore vent is facing down, insert the two M6 hex flange screws in the bottom holes on the sides of the Access Point bracket section into the open slot connections on the bottom of the angle adapter bracket section.
  6. Rotate the Access Point bracket section upward and align the top holes on the sides with the top holes on the angle adapter bracket section. Insert two M6 hex flange screws into the top holes on the angle adapter bracket section. Use a torque wrench or a ratchet and a 10mm socket, or an adjustable wrench, to finish attaching the Access Point bracket section to the angle adapter bracket section with the M6 hex flange screws in the open slot connections and the top holes on the angle adapter bracket section. Do not tighten the screws until all rotation and tilt adjustments are complete.
  7. To adjust the position of the Access Point, rotate the Access Point bracket section (plus or minus 15 degrees) and tilt the angle adapter bracket section (up to 45 degrees).
  8. Tighten all hex flange screws to 60 inch pounds (lbf-in).
