3.3.4. Sub-assemble the upper panels of the 144” Radome Assembly
Refer to the Radome Assembly drawing for your system and the procedure below. It is best to have at least
TWO people sub-assembling the radome, one working from the inside and the other outside. Sub-assemble
the sections of the radome on a clean, flat location that is free of rocks and debris (ie concrete) to assure
good horizontal alignment of the panels.
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all nuts and bolts should be assembled
with Loctite 2760 or its equivalent.
Only 2 people are required to sub-
assemble the top of the radome.
1. On a flat surface, adjoin two
panels and loosely install a
bolt/nut high, mid and low in
the adjoined flange.
2. Continue adjoining additional
panels loosely installing a
bolt/nut high, mid and low on
each flange until all six panels
have been loosely assembled
to form the bottom half of
the radome.
