Assembly of the Driven Element
Select a set of element-to-boom brackets (Item
No. 4) and loosely assemble on the long end of
the boom as shown in Figure 2. The brackets
should just clear the 2" caplug when tightened
down.
Select the DEI sections (Item No. 10) and a set of
element insulators (Item No. 17). Slip the thick-
walled ends of the DE I sections into the
insulators then slip the insulated end into the
brackets which are assembled on the boom.
Turn the boom so that the element will be at 90
degrees to the mast, and tighten all of the bolts
to hold the element securely. Tighten the two
anchor bolts (Item No. 28) last. Make sure that
the three small holes in each DEI section are in
the vertical plane. See Figure 2.
