5.5 Preparation for Shipment
Estimated Time: 1 hour
To ship the TracVision Cruiser unit, it is necessary to remove
the antenna unit from the mounting plate. Refer to
Section 2.4,
“Connecting the Antenna Unit,”
for details on how the antenna
baseplate is attached to the mounting plate.
If it is necessary to repack the Antenna Unit for shipment, the
shipping restraint removed during installation must be
replaced. Follow these steps to reinstall the restraint.
1. Rotate the antenna unit so that the LNB is facing
forward (away from the liquid-tight fittings).
2. Attach the three shipping restraints to the
baseplate using the

long hex screws,
washers, and nuts removed during installation
as pictured in Figure 5-6.
3. Place the antenna bracket on the forward
shipping restraint and secure the restraint and
bracket by wrapping three tie-wraps around the
bend in the restraint and the antenna bracket (at
the end of the LNB bracket).

When rotating the azimuth
mechanism by hand, go slowly!
Hitting the mechanical stops with
excessive force will damage the
azimuth limit switch.
