3. Wipe the Antenna mounting area clean with the alcohol solution. Ensure
any dirt, films, oils, waxes, release agents, or other contaminants are
removed from within the mounting areas.
4. Use the Scotch-Brite pad to abrade the area where the Antenna will make
contact with the roof. Using a circular motion will increase the bonding of
the primer and adhesive. A light abrasion of the surface will do the job as
it is not necessary to completely remove all surface oxidation.
5. Wipe the abraded surface down using the alcohol cleaning solution and a
clean towel. Repeat the cleaning again with a new clean towel until the
clean towels show no sign of any remaining contamination. Thoroughly
wipe the surface dry with another clean towel. Be diligent as this is the
most important step to acquiring a secure bond of the adhesive!
6. Apply the 3M Primer 94 (Item #5) to the cleaned and abraded roof
surface in the area the Antenna will be placed. Allow the primer at least 2
minutes to dry completely.
7. Install the Antenna Assembly. Feed the Antenna cable through the hole
being careful not to touch the prepared roof mounting surface. Remove
the clear backing tape from the bottom of the Antenna to expose the VHB
adhesive. Be careful not to touch the exposed adhesive surface as any
contamination will impede the bond strength. Orient the Antenna with
the small notch in the housing towards the rear of the trailer and the front
edge parallel with the nose of the trailer. Carefully place the Antenna
assembly on the roof within the cleaned and primed location. Firmly
push down on the top of the Antenna. Verify a bond has been obtained
between the Antenna assembly and the roof by pulling up on the Antenna
assembly.
8. Clean the base of the antenna with the alcohol solution and allow it to dry
completely. Apply a thick continuous bead of RTV sealant around the
entire base of the Antenna.
9. Inside the Trailer apply the silicone adhesive around the cable penetration.
