reflector shape and correct it if necessary.
2.2 REFLECTOR PRE-ASSEMBLY
The reflector consists of three interchangeable petals of compression molded
glass-fiber reinforced material. This material is very strong, yet lightweight and
easy to handle. The reflector will possess a very accurate parabolic shape when
properly assembled and will retain it’s shape for years under harsh
environmental conditions. The microwave reflective surface is provided by a fine
mesh screen that lies just beneath the molded surface of the petals.
A) Identify the reflector petals and parts of
the reflector support structure according
to the parts list.
B) Note that the petals (item 1) have a 1 / 2”
hole thru the center. These holes are for the
feed clevises. Pre assemble these three
petals as follows.
C) Run the 1 / 2” nut (item 6) up the threads
of the clevis (item 2), and place a 1 / 2”
flatwasher (item 7) against the nut. Adjust
the nut until the distance from the far side
of the washer and the center of the clevis
is 1.5” .
D) From the face of the petal, insert the clevis
assembly thru the hole in the center of the
petal. Secure with 1 / 2” hardware.
Tighten these nuts hand tight at this time.
