Step 1a: Grease the region of the tower pipe that the yaw mount will be sliding over. The yaw
mount slides down 5.5 inches so grease about 6 inches of the tower pipe.
Step 1b: Locate the pre-attached string that has been run through the yaw mount and strain
relief. Secure the string coming out the bottom of the yaw mount to the three wires coming out
of the yaw bushing as shown in Step 1 of Figure 3. Remove the nut and grommet from the
strain relief as shown in Step 1 of Figure 3. Note that the strain relief may not contain a free
grommet as shown in Step 1 of Figure 3. This is because some strains reliefs use a non-
removable grommet. If there is no grommet, you only need to remove the nut from the strain
relief.
Step 2: It is highly recommended that Step 2 be performed using two people. Person #1 guides
the three wires out the top of the strain relief while, at the same time, Person #2 slides the yaw
mount onto the tower pipe.

Step 1a: If your strain relief has a free grommet, insert the plastic grommet back into the strain
relief. If you there is no free grommet, proceed to Step 1b.
Step 1b: Gently pull on all three wires coming out of the strain relief until you feel tension in all
three wires. While continuing to hold tension on all three wires, use your fingers to tighten the
strain relief nut. Tighten the strain relief nut very firmly with your fingers until it is “finger tight”
as shown in step 1 of Figure 4. You may use a wrench to gently tighten the strain relief nut but
firmly tightening it with your fingers is sufficient. If you choose to use a wrench, take great care
