The heater must mount to the antenna pedestal utilizing existing mounting lugs on the pedestal. The heater must use existing wiring with no additional modifications or alterations, and must not interfere with the operation of the antenna. Utilizing the swivel bracket available from the heater manufacturer, the replacement heater is a compatible fit with the WSR-88D antenna pedestal.
