Remove the Shipping Restraints

Follow these steps to remove the shipping
restraints from inside the antenna.
IMPORTANT!
Once you have removed the restraints, keep
the antenna level as much as possible and
handle the antenna very carefully. Prevent
the internal antenna assembly from rotating
freely within the baseplate to avoid damaging
the limit switch.
a. Using a 9/16" nut driver or wrench, remove
the two bolts securing the two shipping
restraint brackets to the frame (see Figure 13).
NOTE: Be sure to keep the shipping restraint brackets
for future use.
b. In place of the brackets, place a 3/8" flat
washer (supplied in kit) on each of the two
3/8" bolts that you just removed (see
Figure 14). Then reinstall the bolts.
c. Using cutting pliers, cut and remove the two
tie-wraps equipped with paper tags (see
Figure 15).
