Preparation for Shipment
If you need to repack the antenna unit for shipment, the
shipping restraints removed or stowed during installation
must be replaced. Follow these steps to reinstall the restraints.
1. Rotate the antenna unit so that the LNB is facing
away from the baseplate connectors.
2. Attach the three restraints to the baseplate using
the

hex screws and washers provided in
the kitpack and the nuts and washers removed
from the baseplate, as pictured in Figure 5-6.
3. Place the antenna bracket on the forward shipping
restraint.
4. Secure the forward restraint and bracket by
wrapping two tie-wraps around the bend in the
forward restraint and the antenna bracket (at the
end of the LNB bracket).
5. Place the entire antenna unit into its shipping box
using the original packaging material.
When rotating the azimuth
mechanism by hand, go slowly!
Hitting the mechanical stops with
excessive force will damage the
azimuth limit switch.
KVH is not liable for damage
caused by improper shipping.
