SteppIR Antennas 40m - 30m Dipole Kit

19

Caution: Inserting the pole tip into the sweep fitting may be very tight. You may need to

insert a screwdriver into the gap on the edge of the fitting (Picture 25) and pry it
apart enough to push the pole home. Be careful not to damage the “O” ring seal or
the non-skid tape when inserting the poles.

Now insert one of the white fiberglass rods, one end into each fitting (Picture 26 & 29), into
the assembly and line up the holes.

Repeat this procedure for the other side.

Picture 27 is a cut-away to show the position of the pole tip and its components

as they fit together inside the sweep fitting.
