Under normal conditions, no
maintenance is necessary. However, the antenna should
be visually inspected at regular intervals for damage (e.g.
due to lightning strikes, and falling ice).Periodic checks
should be performed to verify correct torque and bracket
clearance settings. Accessories provided exclusively by
