7. 

Remove the #8 hex nuts and lock washers from each driven element. 

 

8. 

Place one of the feed straps onto the driven elements as shown and secure with #8 lock 
washers and hex nuts.  Do not tighten hex nuts at this time. 

 

9. 

Place the remaining feed strap onto the driven elements and secure with #8 lock washers 
and hex nuts.  Once again, do not tighten the hex nuts at this time. 

  10.  Align all three center insulators. 

  11.  Tighten the #8 hex nuts starting with the 15 meter driven element, followed by the 10 and 

then 20 meter driven elements. 

  12.  Straighten the feed straps making sure they are parallel to the boom. 

  13.  If necessary, realign the element insulators. 

  14.  Tighten the 1/4 hex nuts on all of the driven element saddles. 

 
 
Assembly - Elements to Boom

 

 
In the following steps, each element and the element compensator will be assembled onto the boom. 
You will find that assembly will be much easier if the boom is supported by a saw horse or similar 
support at either end.  Refer to the pictorial on the pullout sheet and the ELEMENT POSITION 
page at the end of this instruction for proper placement.  
 

NOTE:

 The elements may be slid through both clamps after they are installed.  

 

IMPORTANT:

 LARGE ELEMENT SADDLES ARE USED TO SECURE THE TWO 20 METER 

ELEMENTS TO THE BOOM.  THE REMAINING ELEMENTS ARE SECURED WITH SMALL 
ELEMENT SADDLES.

1. 

Insert a 1/4 x 5/8(16) screw through each hole on the boom saddle. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. 

Position an element saddle on one side followed by a 1/4 lock washer and 
hex nut.  Tighten only enough so the nut won’t fall off (two or three 
turns). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. 

Repeat the above procedure for the other side of the element saddle. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. 

Slide the element through both element saddles. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. 

Center the element insulator and position the rivet side of the element 
down. Securely tighten all four fasteners. 

 

Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the remaining elements.
