Note: Make sure that the Battery is outside of the enclosure. You will install the
Battery after the enclosure is mounted on the pole.

i. As shown below, secure the Mounting Brackets to the enclosure with the Cable Band
slots facing away from the enclosure.

iii. Wrap the Cable Bands around the pole.
iv. Use a drill to tighten the Cable Bands with a 5/16” nut driver bit or equivalent.
