MT-4000 Ladder Mount Assembly:
Determine how far from the ladder or mounting
pole you will need the antenna. Use Figure 1 to
determine which of the mounting holes will best
meet your application.
1) Line up the two holes in the left mounting
bracket shown in Figure 1 with the two holes
on the extension tube that will work best for
your application.
2) From the flat or outside of the left mounting
bracket, insert a carriage bolt into each of
the two holes you lined up in Step 1. Refer
to Figure 2.
3) Place the right mounting bracket on the
extension tube so that the bolts you inserted
in Step 2 extend through the holes in the right
mounting bracket. Place a flat washer and
thread one of the nylock nuts onto each of
these bolts.
DO NOT TIGHTEN AT THIS TIME!
4) Install the mounting plate by lining up the two
holes shown in Figure 3 with the two holes on
the top of the extension tube.
NOTE: The mounting plate may be installed with either
surface facing up.
With the holes lined up, insert a carriage bolt
into each of the holes so that the head of the
bolt is on top of the mounting plate.
5) Place a flat washer and thread one of the nylock
nut onto each of the two bolts holding the
mounting plate to the extension tube. Tighten
these nuts, making sure they are snug, see
Figure 4.

Installing the Ladder Mount:
WARNING: The MT-4000 Ladder Mount with antenna
installed weighs 20 lbs. Verify that your mounting pole
can support this weight while you travel.
1) Spread the left and right mounting brackets
apart to allow the ladder mount to slide onto
the rail of the ladder or mounting pole.
2) Insert two carriage bolts into the top two holes
shown in Figure 5. Place a flat washer and
thread a nylock nut onto each bolt. Move the
ladder mount to the desired height. When the
ladder mount is in place, tighten the two nuts
until they are snug.
3) Tighten the nuts holding the brackets and extension
tube together. Make sure these nuts are snug.
4) Insert the last two carriage bolts into the bottom
two holes. Place a flat washer and thread a
nylock nut onto each of these bolts and tighten
the nuts until they are snug.
Attaching the Antenna on the Ladder Mount:
1) Disconnect the power and coax cables from the
base of the antenna.
2) Remove the dome screws with a Phillips
screwdriver, and lift off the dome. Locate and
remove the security loop nuts, remove the
security loop and reattach the dome using
the new dome screws included with the
ladder mount.
3) Remove rubber feet from dome and reinstall
using new rubber foot screws included in the
ladder mount.
4) Set the antenna on the mounting plate, lining
up the feet of the antenna so that they fit into
the holes in the mounting plate.
NOTE: Locate the hole in the base of the antenna and line
it up with the hole in the mounting plate for the locking
bolt before attaching the antenna, see Figure 6.
5) Twist the antenna to rotate the feet into the slots
that hold the antenna in place while travelling.
6) Slide the lock washer onto the threads of the
locking bolt.
NOTE: To rotate the cable connections
180o, simply flip the mounting plate over
and install it in the opposite direction.

WARNINGS:
• The MT-4000 Ladder Mount with the antenna installed
weighs 20 lbs. Verify that your mounting pole can support
this weight while you travel.
• The antenna needs a clear view of the southern sky. The
vehicle will either need to park with the ladder mount
facing south or the ladder mount will need to be installed
high enough to allow the antenna to see over the vehicle.
• The antenna is for stationary use only and will
not function while the vehicle is in motion.
• All nylock nuts for the ladder mount MUST be tight to
prevent them from vibrating loose while the vehicle is
in motion.
• The locking bolt MUST be in place and tight while the
antenna is installed on the ladder mount.

7) Thread the locking bolt into the hole in the
bottom of the mounting plate and into the
matching hole in the base of the antenna to
keep the unit from rotating back out of the slots
holding the antenna in place.
8) Connect the ladder mount’s coax and power
cables to the antenna.
To remove the antenna, simply reverse these steps.
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may lead
to property damage, personal injury, and/or death.
