Insert the 3/8” x 4” threaded bolt (PN 60-0085) through the mast plate (PN 10-1610-22) as shown in
figure 2.02
and secure with the 3/8” Nylock nut (PN 60-0085).
BE SURE TO LIBERALLY COAT THE THREADED BOLT WITH ANTI-SEIZE LUBRICANT.
Figure 2.03
shows the proper method, note that there is lubricant applied to four portions of the bolt. If you do not
do this, the bolt will likely gall. For information on galling, see the
Preamble section
of this manual.
The EZ-Eye bolt is fully threaded, which can create friction, which then turns into heat. When the initial
Nylock nut was threaded on, the nut “pushed” the anti-seize compound down the bolt as it was tight-
ened. Therefore, be sure to apply anti-seize to the 3/8” bolt again.
Thread the second 3/8” Nylock nut onto the bolt, so that the end of bolt is protruding just outside of
the Nylock nut as shown in
figure 2.04
. You are doing this so that the end of the Nylock nut, the por-
tion that has the nylon in it, is manually “threaded”. Remove the nut, turn it around so that the nylon
portion of the nut is facing downward, and tighten as shown in the second photo in
figure 2.04
. The
reason for doing this will be more apparent on the next page. Tighten the Nylock nut until there is ap-
proximately 3/4” of clearance between the two Nylock nuts as shown in
figure 2.05
.
Most, if not all of the drawings and pictures in this manual are oriented facing the boom as it is mount-
ed on the mast plate. When looking straight at the boom and mast plate, he director is on the left, the
driven in the middle, and the reflector on the right. To be sure your mast plate is oriented properly,
refer to
figure 2.06
. When you are looking at the boom (meaning that you can visually SEE the boom)
as it is mounted on the mast plate, these 4 holes should be on the upper left side.
