16. Overlay the amalgamating tape with a double layer of vinyl tape.
17. Using cable ties, tie the ODU cable to the ground wire every 200 mm
(8 inches) up to the point where they meet with the tower.
18. Secure the tied cable/wire assembly to the antenna mount or suitable hard
points to stop wind flex.
19. Trim and attach the ground wire to the tower using the supplied Harger
ground clamp. First scrape any paint or oxidation from the tower at the
clamping point to ensure there will be good low-resistance contact.
20. Apply protective grease around the ground clamp assembly.
