ATTACHING THE REFLECTORS
The back end of the antenna (where the
elements are most tightly spaced) has
a wingnut and bolt. Remove these two
items and set them aside.
Place the reflector brackets on either
side of the antenna and connect the bolt
and wingnut, leaving it loose.
It should now be possible to slide the
reflectors into the top and bottom of the
bracket with gentle pressure. Do not
push too hard. When both reflectors are
in place, tighten the wingnut.
If you’re having problems attaching the
reflectors, you may have better luck
putting only one reflector bracket on,
seating both reflectors, then attaching
the other bracket. It helps to have a
second person if you’re doing it this way.
When the reflector is assembled the
antenna will look like this. Note that the
reflectors are not designed to bear weight.
