Manual Operation of Drive Assemblies 

The jack drive assemblies can be manually operated by means of a ratchet rotation or 
an electric drill with a socket fitting on the end of the jack input shaft. It can also be 
driven at the end of the motor shaft under the plug on the end of the fan shroud. 

WARNING! 

LOCKOUT POWER TO SYSTEM PRIOR TO MANUALLY DRIVING 
ANTENNA.  REMOVE RATCHET/ELECTRIC DRILL  FROM THE END 
OF THE JACK INPUT SHAFT OR GEARMOTOR SHAFT BEFORE 
RETURNING POWER. INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE 
TO THE EQUIPMENT MAY RESULT IF NOT REMOVED.

Azimuth Jack Assembly Repositioning Procedure 

(Applies to 2-position antenna only) 
 
When an azimuth look angle is desired which is outside the range of the existing jack 
position, the following steps are the recommended repositioning procedures under calm 
wind conditions (less than 10 mph / 16 km/h). 
 
 

1.  Clean the dirt and grease from the exposed portion of the azimuth jack screw. 
2.  Drive the reflector to its highest elevation look angle. 
3.  Disconnect azimuth limit switch. 
4.  Retract (or extend) the azimuth jack its full travel. 
5.  Secure antenna so that the pedestal cannot rotate in azimuth. This should be 

done in a manner that will not damage the protective (paint or galvanizing) finish. 

Note: 

One such securing method is to place a twelve-ton hydraulic jack 

beneath the 1" thick plate on the bottom of the pedestal (the plate that 
forms half the clevis for the azimuth jack trunnion), with a nominal 2" 
wooden board between the jack and the  pedestal bottom.  Tighten the 
jack until the wood shows some deformation, but avoid forcing the jack 
until the wood splits. 

 

6.  Remove the six bolts securing the deadman pivot and azimuth jack to the 

deadman base. 

7.  Extend (or retract) jack until the six bolt holes in the deadman pivot match the 

corresponding holes in the deadman base in the adjacent position, rotating the 
jack about its trunnion axis by hand. 

8.  Replace the six bolts, washers, and nuts that hold the deadman assembly 

together with new hardware and tighten via turn-of-nut method. 

9.  Remove hydraulic jack or other means of securing method. 
10. Connect and re-adjust limit switch, making sure limits are within travel range of 

jack. 

11. Recoat exposed jack screw with lubricant method mentioned in Section 3.5.
