Place worm clamp (413) over top end of base assembly (BA). Slide non-
slotted end of section BB into BA section 3 inches (7.6 cm) and secure
worm clamp. Leave the aluminum clamp assemblies 814 and 29 screwed
together. Slide (814) onto BB (Figure F3) and loosely secure with second
screw (64) and nut (87). Now slide second clamp assembly (29) onto BB
and secure loosely with screw (64) and nut (87).
Place worm clamp (412) over top end of section BB. Slide non-slotted
end of section BC into BB section 3 inches (7.6 cm) and secure worm
clamp. Place worm clamp (411) over top end of section BC. Slide non-
slotted end of section BD into BC section 2 inches (5.1 cm) and secure
worm clamp. Place worm clamp (411) over top end of section BD.
See Figure F for proper trap placement. Note that trap arrows point DOWN
towards the R6000 base. Also note that bottom trap cap has a drain hole
for water. There is no drain hole in the top cap. Hold trap CS1 with arrow
pointing down and slide bottom tube into section BD 2 inches (5.1 cm).
Secure worm clamp. Place a worm clamp (411) on each end of section
BE. Slide BE tube over CS1 top tube 2 inches (5.1 cm) and secure worm
clamp. Hold trap CS2 with arrow pointing down and slide bottom tube
into section BE 2 inches (5.1 cm) and secure worm clamp. Place worm
clamp (409) on top tube of trap CS2. Slide section BF into trap CS2.
Refer to Chart A for Dimension “C”. Adjust length of section BF for
Dimension ”C” and secure worm clamp.Place plastic cap (53) on end of
section BF.
Place clamp (29) 5-1/2” (14.0 cm) above the top end of the base assembly
(BA). Place a BG section in both of the 1/2” (1.3 cm) holes. Let the BG
tube protrude 1/2” (1.3 cm) below the clamp (29) and tighten the clamp
screws. Insert a BL tube 3 inches (7.6 cm) into the top of each BG section.
Secure with a worm clamp (407). Slide a BH tube onto each BL tube until
the BH tube butts against the BG tube. Secure with a worm clamp (407).
Position the lower radiator brackets (28) around the BC and BH sections
at the position shown in Figures F and F2. Align the brackets with the
clamp (29) below. Insert 2 screws (64) into brackets and secure with nuts
(87). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BRACKET SCREWS. The brackets
are for proper spacing of the radiator section and are not required to
physically support the aluminum tube. Slide a BK tube into one of the BH
tubes 5 inches (12.7 cm) and secure with worm clamp (407). Insert a BL
tube 3 inches (7.6 cm) into the top of the second BH tube and secure
with worm clamp (407). Slide a BJ tube over the BL tube until BJ tube
butts against the BH tube. Secure with worm clamp (407). Insert BK tube
into the BJ tube 9 inches (22.9 cm) and secure with worm clamp (407).
Place a plastic cap (77) over the top of each BK tube. Position the upper
radiator brackets (27) around the BD, BJ, and BK sections at the position
shown in Figure F. Position the 15m radiator bracket (923) around the
BD and BJ sections. Align the brackets with the clamp (29) and brackets
(28) below. Insert 2 screws ( 64) into brackets and secure with nuts (87).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE BRACKET SCREWS. The brackets are
for proper spacing of the radiator section and are not required to physically
support the aluminum tube.
Secure the 814 bracket assembly flush against the top of BA with BG
tube in place 1/2” (1.3 cm) below the brackets (Figure F3). Attach brackets
(813) to tubes BC and BG (Figure F2) using screws (64) and nuts (87).
Put worm clamp (407) over top of BG tube, insert tube BM and secure.
Set Dimension F using Chart B.
Verify all radiator dimensions are within 1/4” (0.6 cm) of the values in
Chart A. Set dimension C for the desired 20 meter frequency in Chart A.
