Assure that you have a large, flat, level, open area to sub-assemble the general assembly and the upper &
lower sections of the radome. This area should be clean and free of debris. The site should also provide
protection from wind, rain and other adverse weather.
A hoist, or small crane, is needed to assemble these sub-assemblies to form the final ADE Assembly.
As an example, you might sub-assemble everything on the pier where the ship will tie up, then use the crane
to put the sub-assemblies together and lift the whole ADE up to the mounting location on the ship.
You can change order of these steps; however, in the end the objective is to have a well sealed radome with
flanges that well aligned and are clean of excess caulking.
4.3. Separate the Base Frame & Radome Crates
The Baseframe Crate is banded together with the Radome crate for shipment.
CAUTION: The baseframe crate weighs 650 lbs. Do NOT attempt to move it or lay
it down by hand. Use a forklift to lay the crate down and move it, as described
below.

ASSURE that
these crates are NOT on inclined

not tip over when the banding is
removed.

2. Pass a web lifting strap through the
