4.0 Directions for Repackaging:
The unit is easily disassembled by reversing the above procedures and returning all
components to their original locations in the transit case as shown in Figure 14.
1.
Remove the radio
and place in its transit case.
2.
Detach the upper dish
segment and place it in the transit case, centered and against
the side foam wall, as shown in Figure 14.
3. Place the folded
rain tarp
on top of the upper dish to act as a cushion against the lower
segment which will be placed on top of the upper segment.
4. Loosen the four wing nuts which attach the side arms. Remove the
side arms and
radio arm
. Set all three pieces aside temporarily.
5. Remove the
elevation adjustment assembly
. Disconnect the elevation assembly
upper wing nut and unthread the entire assembly noting that it utilizes left handed threads.
Collapse the elevation assembly to its minimum length and place it in the appropriate slot in the
transit case.
6. Loosen the large nut which retains the lower dish and lift the dish out of the trunion forks.
Place the
lower dish
segment into the case. Exercise caution so that the wing nuts on the side of
the dish do not tear the transit case foam.
7. The two
side arms
are returned to their
transit slots
on the back of the dish and the
radio arm
is
secured
to the back of the antenna support arm using the wing nut and washer.
8. Loosen the six thumbscrews on the
trunion
and lift it straight off the trunion post. Place
the trunion in the provided cavity.
9. The
compass and inclinometer
fit easily into the spaces adjacent to the dish.
10. Replace the transit
case cover
, ensuring that it is oriented properly. Secure all six
latches. Return the entire case to its
upright
position when desired.
11. Roll the case to your
transport vehicle
and prepare to load it into the vehicle. The
six handles make vehicle loading fairly easy with two persons. To reduce the amount of effort
required to load the transit case into a vehicle the case may be flipped and rolled into a vehicle
as shown in Figures 15 and 16.
