CHAPTER 5
Assembly of the Boom-to-Mast Brackets
and Boom
Select the 2" x 26" boom section (Item No. 5), the
two cast aluminum brackets (Item No. 1), the
casting-to-boom bracket (Item No. 2), the boom-
to-bracket clamp (Item No. 3), and the
appropriate hardware. Assemble as shown in
Figure 1.
The use of two split lockwahsers on the 5"
bolts may be necessary to properly tighten the
clamp on a 2" mast. Additional washers may be
needed if masts slightly smaller then 2" are
used.
When you are ready to install the antenna on your
mast, the two cast aluminum brackets can be
mounted first, using the 3 inch bolts (Item No.
24). Then the assembled antenna can be installed
upon these brackets using the four (4) 5 inch bolts
(Item No. 23).
