ASSEMBLY OF THE ANTENNA
(On Ground: Lift As One Piece Antenna)
FIGURE
#5
Page 4
The antenna will come in 4 or 8 pieces each having a color coded dot on the rib (see
FIGURE #5
).
NOTE:
After complete installation you will no longer see the colored dots.
You must take two sections of the
antenna and place them on a flat surface face down allowing for the installer to work on attaching the
numbered ribs. The antenna must always stay in crate until assembled. (see
FIGURE #6
) Take panel one
labeled 08/1 and 08/2 and attach it to panel 2 which is labeled 08/2 on one rib and 08/3 on the other rib.
Connect panel 1 with rib #2 (labeled 08/2) to panel 2 with rib #2 (labeled 08/2), matching the #2 on each
rib of the two panels (See photos below). Install
3/8” x 1” bolts and washer through the ribs. Secure with
washer, lock washer and nut and only finger tight the nuts on
. Continue on to the next panel in the same
manner until finished with all panels. Now tighten all hardware.
Match 2 with 2
The top number represents the serial number of the antenna.
*Example:
In FIGURE #5 you will see 4
sections with the top number 08. You will take all four pieces of 08 to make one complete antenna.
The bottom number represents the rib number.
*Example:
On a 4 piece 3.0m antenna the
dot will have a 08 on the upper part of the dot (serial number) and the lower number of 1, 2,
3, or 4
(rib numbers).
RIB
IMPORTANT!!
If you have purchased a 4 or 8 piece sectional
antenna follow the instructions on page
4 and 5.
NOTE:
The aluminum antenna is also stamped in the lip. This
number reflects the position of the panel.
The number stamped on the rib reflects the antenna as a
whole for bulk shipping. Each section has one rib stamped.
The number will be the same on all ribs making it one
complete antenna.
See optional sectional installation on page 5: “Installing by Sections to Ring”
