Remove the Shipping Restraints

Inside the antenna, two shipping restraints
prevent the antenna assembly from moving
during shipment. Follow these steps to remove
these restraints.
a. Remove the three #10-32 Phillips screws
securing the radome to the baseplate (see
Figure 12). Carefully lift the radome straight
up until clear of the antenna assembly and set
it aside in a safe place.
NOTE: Due to the snug fit, some contact between the
radome's sealing gasket and the antenna mechanism is
normal.
b. Remove the two #10-32 shipping restraint
screws (see Figure 13). Save the restraints for
future use.
IMPORTANT!
Once you have removed the restraints,
handle the antenna carefully. With the
restraints removed, the internal antenna
assembly rotates freely and, if not handled
properly, can damage the limit switch.
