Slide the four pieces of the Reddi-Match assembly (PT, RR, RT, 251) together (figure B). Slide the tuning strap (125) onto the driven element (EB)
and secure loosely with screws (79), nuts (11) and lock washers (41). Press on end caps (53). Slide the Reddi-Match assembly through the tuning
strap. Connect the flattened rod end to the screw on the connector bracket (CB) with nut (11) and washer (41). Attach the entire driven element
assembly shown below to the boom with hardware provided
referring to figure D for the proper location. Slide the poly tube
(PT) on the Reddi-Match assembly over the rod (RR) up to the
flattened end of that rod (figure B-2). Adjust to the dimensions
indicated and tighten all connections. Be sure that the connec-
tor is pointed towards the center of the boom and the Reddi-
Match assembly is parallel to the element above.
Check all element lengths using table A. The cutting tolerance
on these elements is
±
1/16" (.16 cm). The elements are
progressively shorter as you proceed toward the front end of
the boom. Attach each element to the boom per figure C
referring to figure D for proper location.
