When assembling the reflector petals
(items 1,2), note the orientation of
the petals. Every other petal contains
a feed clevis.
A) Continue assembling additional petals
as above. The wooden support should
be moved as necessary to support the
weight of the petals being assembled.
Before installing the last petal, place
the center plate (item 5) on top of the
wooden support - underneath the
center of the reflector - and attach the
center hub (item 4) on top with 1 / 4”
hardware (items 12, 13, 14). Leave

Place two petals rim down on a level
surface with their flanges next to each

as a 4x4, will help support the narrow
ends of the petals.

A) Begin the assembly at the flange
with 3 / 8” hardware (items 15,
16, 17, 18), in holes A, B, C, etc.
Note
that this illustration shows
a 3.7M petal which has eight
holes. The 3.4M petal only has
five holes.
B) Do not fully tighten bolts until
instructed. You may notice that
the hardware fits snugly in the
holes. This is to assure the
accurate alignment of the petals.
If necessary, gently tap or thread
the bolts into the holes.
