EAR Controlled - ECCN EAR99
22. Attach 4 radome lifting brackets
(PN 131514-2), or other lifting
arrangement, to four opposite
vertical flange mounting points
(every other vertical flange).
Orient the brackets with the
shackle inside the perimeter of
the bottom radome flange.
Hold the bracket under the
bottom flange and install a bolt
and fender washer down
through the hole on one side of
the vertical seam, through the
slot on that side of the bracket
and tighten a nut on the
underside of the bracket
23. Install a second bolt and fender washer down through the hole on the other side of the
vertical seam, through the slot on that side of the bracket and tighten a nut on the
underside of the bracket
24. Repeat steps 16 & 17 to install the other 3 brackets under opposing flanges.
25. Attach web strap lifting sling to the four shackles.
26. The lower panel assembly is now ready to lift onto the riser panels.
27. Hoist the lower section of the
radome and set it onto the top
of the riser panels.
NOTE: The bolts protruding down out of
the lifting brackets will act like guide pins
to align into the holes in the top of the
riser panels. Make sure you align the
vertical seams of the lower section of the
radome and the riser section.
NOTE: The brackets themselves will act
a spacers to allow the caulking to be
applied in the horizontal seam between
these two sections of the radome.
28. Install (loosely) hardware in all
the holes around the perimeter
of this horizontal flange, except
where the lifting brackets are
installed.
Leave all of this
hardware loose at this time .
29. Start injecting caulking midway
between two brackets.
30. When close to the bracket you
are caulking toward, remove
the bracket and install hardware
in the two vacant holes where
the bracket was (make sure you
keep the original hardware with
the bracket).
