The length of the reflector wire is very critical. It must be the correct length to
operate correctly. Take the wire
and uncoil it making sure that there are no
kinks; secure it to a nail. Pull the wire until it stretches an inch or so. The easy way
to get the correct
the reflector loop is as follows
1. Drive nails in a board or fence
the length of the loop apart --which is 228”
between them.
2. Stretch the wire
nails by hand as tightly as possible and splice ends
together. Solder the splice. Remove one nail
N12,
and remove the loop. Cut any excess wire off.
3. Loosely assemble the machine screws
flatwashers
lockwashers
and hex
nuts
(N06) onto the lugs of the fiberglass arms,
adjusting the length as shown.
4. Tighten 3 of the 4 clamps that hold the
VERY
6. Tighten the wire by pulling the fourth
COMET
fiberglass rod until the wire is the same tightness as it was around the nails. The wire
loop is now the correct length.
