Notes:

It is important that the truss support is mounted as shown in Figure 21. Please note that the
optional 39’ truss supports mounts on the same side of the boom as the mast plate which is
the opposite of the 49’ truss support. Also be aware the dacron rope for the 39ft truss kits is
much shorter than the 49’ truss (202” versus 285”). The hardware and parts for the optional
39’ trusses will be in the Antenna Sweep Box.

Secure the truss support, saddles and turnbuckles as shown in

Figure 21.

The truss support must be mounted on on the

opposite

side of the boom from the mast plate.

Position the truss support so it is perpendicular to the EHU mounting plates. This is not critical as
long as you get it reasonably close.
Locate the short section of Dacron rope (60”) (10-1055-01), it will have two loops on each end.
Secure each 3/16” SS eye bolt to the loops of the small Dacron rope by threading the loop of the
rope through the eye of the eye bolt. Pull the loop over the shank of the eye bolt and then tighten
the rope by pulling the opposite end of the Dacron rope. Repeat this procedure for the other eye
bolt.
Unscrew the SS nut from eye bolt and discard. You will use the small SS washers so be sure to
keep them for this assembly. Secure the eye bolt to the coupler on the 30m/40m sweep as per

Figure 22

Secure 3/4” SS ring to the short section of the Dacron rope as shown in Figure 23. Use the

same procedure that was used to attach the eye bolts to the rope, but position the SS ring in the

middle of the short Dacron rope.

Locate the long section of Dacron rope, secure the looped end of the rope to the SS ring using

the same procedure as the eye bolts and the SS ring. See Figure 23 for SS ring assembly.

Lengthen the turnbuckles until only 2 or 3 threads are left before the it comes apart. To attach

the loose end of the long Dacron rope you will need to run the rope through the open eye of the

turnbuckle. Pull the rope tight enough so that the telescoping poles are close to level. Once the

30m/40m loop is close to level secure the rope to the turnbuckle by looping the rope twice

through the eye and tying 3 half hitches. Finish the knot by covering the half hitches with the

provided electrical tape.

Use the turnbuckles to do any fine tune adjusting to your element. DO NOT pull up too high on

the 30m/40m element. This will cause the element to collect water and damage the antenna. In

any case the tip of the sweep should never be higher then any other part of the telescoping pole.

Dont try to get the element perfectly straight, if you pull it up just enough so that it is close to

the droop of the 20m element it will look great. Lock down the turnbuckle by tightening the small

nuts on the turnbuckle.

Repeat steps 6-12 to complete the other half of the truss support. Figure 24 for complete layout

of 49’ driven element with truss.
