Lowering or Raising the Vertical Element Assembly
1. To lower the antenna, ensure the winch hook is in the Antenna Hook Mount. Remove the four
bolts and hardware that hold the Pivot Lock Plate to the Pivot Base Winch Mount Plate. You
can now use the winch to pivot the antenna downward.
Four Bolts to be removed to allow for pivoting
2. To raise the antenna, ensure the winch hook is in the Antenna Hook Mount. Raise the antenna
using the winch. Replace the four bolts and hardware that hold the Pivot Lock Plate to the Pivot
Base Winch Mount Plate.
The winch can then be removed and stored. Do not leave the winch outdoors since extended
weather and sunlight may damage or weaken the strap and/or other parts. Refer to the section of
the manual “
Mounting and using the Optional DXE-VRW-1 Manual Winch
” for detailed
information.
DANGER: When raising or lowering the vertical antenna make sure you have
not inadvertently located the antenna underneath power lines.
Residential power lines are often less than 40' high.
Contact With Any Power or Utility Lines Can Be Lethal !
In areas where there is a high atmospheric static condition (areas prone to precipitation or snow
static) this antenna (as with all antennas) will build up a static charge. When working on the
antenna, especially in the raised position, you may want to ground the antenna to bleed off any
static before touching the antenna. (Obviously, you also do not want RF present on the antenna
when touching it). The optional
DXE-VMN-1 Vertical Matching Network (described on the next
page) will act as a constant static bleed for your resonant vertical antenna in areas where
precipitation static or snow static is present.
