Note :
When disassembling, be cautious not to bend or break the inner conductors and do not let any
moisture to enter the inside of the antenna.
The AS-1735/SRC can now be installed by bolting one of the Radiating Element Sections to the
support assembly attached to the mast by stainless steel hardware, such as 3/8" bolts and lock
washers (not supplied), but do not tighten the bolts all the way yet. Bolt the second Radiating
Element Section to the mast in a similar fashion, again, do not tighten the bolts yet. Place the
previously removed O-rings in each of the grooves of the Lower Feed Section and, lining up the
inner conductor bullet connections, attach the Lower Feed Section to the two Radiating Element
Sections. Use the stainless steel hardware previously removed to secure the three sections
together. Tighten the screws to 8.5 ft-lbs (+/-0.5 ft-lbs). Bolt the Lower Feed Section to the
support assembly attached to the mast by stainless steel hardware; such as 3/8" bolts and lock
washers (not supplied). All mounting bolts can now be fully tightened as specified on the
support assembly’s documentation.
Note :
The use of an anti-seize thread compound per ML-A-907 is
highly recommended on the threads of all hardware.
Use some touch-up paint to seal around the joint where the elbow flanges have just been joined,
as well as where the seven antenna mounting flanges meet the support assembly. Also touch up
any chips which may have occurred on the hardware during disassembly.
