Remove the Shipping Restraints

Follow the steps below to remove the shipping
restraints from the antenna.
a. Remove the foam block that is wedged
beneath the antenna's reflector (see
Figure 19). Save this restraint for future use;
the customer will need to reinstall it if he/she
needs to relocate or reship the antenna.
b. Using a 9/16" nut driver or wrench, remove
the two 3/8" bolts, washers, and lock nuts
securing the two shipping restraint brackets
to the frame (see Figure 20).
NOTE: Be sure to keep the shipping restraint brackets
for future use.
c. In place of the brackets, place a 3/8" flat
washer (supplied in the kitpack) on each of
the two 3/8" bolts that you just removed.
Then reinstall the bolts and secure them in
place with the washers and lock nuts you
removed earlier.
TIP: If you are installing a linear system, keep the
radome off for now. You will need to adjust the skew
angle of the antenna's LNB.
d. Reinstall the radome onto the antenna. Secure
in place with the six #10-32 screws you
removed earlier (see Figure 15 on page 9).
e. Install a protective plastic cap (supplied in
the kitpack) over each radome screw.
