Introduction
Congratulations on obtaining your DX Engineering Four Inch Super Duty+ Base Pivot Assembly
DXE-VA-Pivot-4 . Now you can have a high-performance pivot base for a vertical antenna with a
four inch base section. This is the same super duty pivot base assembly used on the DXE-
7580FSVA -3 sixty-seven foot tall vertical antenna.

The optional
DXE-VRW-1 Manual Winch for easy one-person raising and lowering of your
vertical antenna is available from DX Engineering. You can move the DXE-VRW-1 winch
between similar antennas in a multi-antenna installation.
This heavy duty pivot base system requires a heavy duty mounting pipe. Recommended installation
should provide up to 3" OD heavy wall galvanized steel pipe set in concrete. Schedule 80 pipe that
is called 2-1/2" has an outside diameter of 2.875" is recommended. 36" of the mounting pipe should
extend above ground level. Depth of the mounting hole and amount of concrete is dependent on
your antenna design, local soil type and antenna guying.
WARNING!
INSTALLATION OF ANY ANTENNA NEAR POWER LINES IS DANGEROUS
Warning :
Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power
circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take
extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or
death. Keep your distance! Remember the 10-foot rule: When carrying and using ladders and other
long tools, keep them at least 10 feet away from all overhead lines - including any lines from the
power pole to your home.
