WARNING: Hoisting with other than a webbed four-part sling may result in
catastrophic crushing of the radome. Refer to the specifications and drawings for the
fully assembled weight of your model Antenna/Radome and assure that equipment used
to lift/hoist this system is rated accordingly.

The antenna/radome assembly is very light for its size and is subject to
large swaying motions if hoisted under windy conditions. Always ensure that tag lines,
attached to the radome base frame, are attended while the antenna assembly is being
hoisted to its assigned location aboard ship.
