Preparation for Shipment
If it is necessary 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
forward (away from the liquid-tight fittings).
2. Attach the three restraints to the baseplate using
the

long hex screws and washers
(provided as part of the kitpack), and nuts
(removed from the shipping restraints during
installation) as pictured in Figure 5-8.
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).
When rotating the azimuth
mechanism by hand, go slowly!
Hitting the mechanical stops with
excessive force will damage the
azimuth limit switch.
