*Highly Recommended On Systems With Galvanized Back Braces* 

Please use a rubberized spray or silicon sealant to coat the threaded 
rods on the end of back braces to help prevent corrosion. When 
doing annual maintenance on your antenna system please make sure 
to check as it may need to be reapplied.  

 

NOTE:  3.0m, 3.7m and 3.8m antenna systems have 15/16” 
galvanized round tube back braces. 4.2m and 4.5m have 
square tube back braces.
