Congratulations and thank you for the purchase of your
Quick-Tilt mount. This mount has been designed to make it
easier and safer for you to erect your antenna, mast or
flagpole. Before proceeding further go back and read the
safety notice.
SETTING UP YOUR QUICK-TILT GROUND MOUNT
Your Quick-Tilt mount has been shipped to you assembled.
The keepers have been preset to accept a 11/4" outside
diameter mast, by virtue of the trapped PVC insulator.
Please check to make sure the parts you have match the
drawing to your right and the figure on the following page.
Loosen and remove the small wing nut on the ¼" bolt found
at the top of your Quick-Tilt mount. This bolt will be used to
hold two spacers that will prevent your antenna or mast from
moving side to side. Removing it will prevent it from getting
damaged during the installation process. Leave the two 3/8”,
stainless, bolts with the 5” separators in place. These
separators will keep the brackets parallel as you set them in
the ground.
SETTING THE QUICK-TILT IN THE GROUND
There are two ways you can install your Quick-Tilt mount,
either driven directly into the ground or set in concrete. This
is a determination you will have to make depending upon
your soil conditions and how tall your mast or antenna will be
and how much wind load it will incur. Wind load should not
be a major concern, because the purpose of the Quick-Tilt
mount is to make it easier and quicker for you to be able to
get your mast, antenna or flagpole up and down. Therefore,
if a storm is approaching, high winds are expected or the
structure will not be in use then lower it.
Please note that if you are going to be using your own mast
you may want to attach your keepers and test fit them in the
support brackets before you set the brackets in the ground.
Driving The Quick-Tilt Into The Groun
With the two 5" separators in place lay a board over the ends
of your two support brackets and alternating from one bracket
to the other strike the board with a sledge hammer and drive
the two brackets into the ground. Stop frequently and using a
level check to make sure they are going in plumb. If they start to go crooked, using a short length of 2x4 or
similar extension, push on the bracket in the opposite direction, the bracket is leaning, as you continue to
drive it in the ground. Remember to alternate your blows so that the tops of the brackets remain equal to
each other and the PVC separators remain parallel with the ground. Continue to drive the brackets into the
ground until the lowest spacer is 4" above the ground. This will leave at least 24" in the ground.

Setting The Quick-Tilt In Concrete
Dig a hole at least 10" in diameter x 24".deep. Set the Quick-Tilt
mount with the attached 5" PVC separators in the hole. Mix up two 80
lb bags of concrete according to the directions on the bag and pour it
into the hole. Using a level, set the Quick-Tilt mount so it is plumb.
Reassembling your Quick-Tilt With The Supplie PVC Pipe
Remove the 5" PVC separators from the 3/8" bolts. If you plan on
using the supplied 11/4" PVC insulator then position it and the two
keepers in between the two support brackets. One of the keepers is
missing a thumbscrew. This keeper should be positioned towards the
top of your support bracket and will eventually accommodate the
stabilizer bolt. Working with the holes on the support bracket closest to
the ground, slide the bolt through the support bracket. Slip one of the
1½” spacers over the bolt before passing the bolt through the hole in
the keeper. As the bolt passes through the keeper slide another 1½”
spacer over it and then continue to push the bolt through until it passes
through the other bracket. Secure it with a wing nut. This bolt is your
pivot bolt.
The bolt on your upper keeper is used to lock your mast, antenna or
flagpole in the vertical position and shall be engaged once you have
walked your structure up. This bolt does not require any spacers.
Once you have walked your structure up, slide this 3/8” bolt through the
support bracket, keeper, and other support bracket and secure it with
another of the large wing nuts.
After locking your structure in place, you can now go ahead and insert the ¼ “ stainless bolt. Push this bolt
through the support bracket and slide another 1½” spacer over the bolt as you continue to push this bolt
through the small holes in the keeper. As the bolt passes through the keeper slide the remaining 1½”
spacer over it and continue to push it through until it comes out of the other support bracket. Secure it with
the wing nut. This bolt is your stabilizer and will limit your lateral motion.
If you will not be using the supplied PVC pipe, remove it from the keepers. Place the keepers on your mast
section. The easiest way to achieve this is to simply back off the thumbscrews and wing nuts to the point
that you can slide the PVC section out, without totally removing the wing nuts from the screws. Before
removing the keepers from the PVC pipe you may wish to note their distance between themselves. This will
show you how much separation is required so that all your holes and bolts will line up. With the
thumbscrews backed off slide the two keepers over your support mast . Make sure to put the one keeper
with the missing thumbscrew on first with the vacant hole towards the top. Follow the same steps outlined
above, selecting the appropriate spacer for the desired mast section to be supported. The measurements
provided on the assembled drawing for the spacers correspond to the outer diameter of the mast you will be
using.
