DRIVEN ELEMENT ASSEMBLY
Select the large size set of element-to-boom brackets and loosely assemble these
brackets on the boom in the approximate location according to the assembly chart.
Select the driven element insulators and the DE1 sections of tubing. Slide the
insulator on to the un-slotted end of the R1 (5) sections. Slip the insulated ends into
the bracket assembled on the boom. Tighten the bolts to hold the element securely
but do not tighten the anchor bolts at this time. Carefully check the measurement
from the center of the reflector bracket to the center of the driven element bracket.
Make certain the driven element will lie in the same plane as the reflector then tighten
the anchor bolts securely.
Select the R2 section and slip them into the R1 section. Overlap the tubing at least
2 inches and install the hose clamp and tighten. Select the R3 section of tubing and
slip it into the R2 section. Refer to the chart for the total length of the driven element.
Install the hose clamp and tighten.
DIRECTOR ELEMENT ASSEMBLY
Install the director using the same assembly method as the reflector. Refer to the chart
for total length of the element and location.
