• The pedestal base is securely fixed to the platform.
• The cable is NOT attached.
• The pedestal power switch is in the OFF position.
• The pedestal unit has a cap fitted over the open array mounting
shaft to protect the protruding co-axial pin. This cap must remain
in place until you’re ready to fit the antenna to the pedestal unit.
Note: You MUST ensure that the antenna does not come into
contact with the delicate protruding coaxial pin. This is a critical
component and should be treated with caution. Follow all the
instructions provided below, and ensure that the alignment guides
are used.
1. Fit the 4 threaded alignment guides to the studs on the underside
of the antenna. Ensure a close fit. The alignment guides are
essential to help prevent damage to the coaxial pin.
2. Remove the protective cap from the antenna shaft. Retain the
cap for future use.
3. Position the antenna mounting bracket on the Port to Starboard
axis of the pedestal.
4. Lift the antenna into position, ensuring it is in the correct
orientation and that the threaded alignment guides are fitted.
Carefully align and slowly lower the antenna.
5. Once the antenna is in position, remove the alignment guides.
6. Grease the 4 securing studs with the supplied Denso paste.
7. Use the 4 nuts and associated washers to secure the antenna to
the pedestal, as shown in the following diagram. Tighten each
nut to 10 Nm (7.4 lb ft) torque.
