Remove the Shipping Restraint
Inside the antenna, a shipping restraint prevents
the antenna assembly from moving during
shipment. Follow these steps to remove this
shipping restraint.
a. Remove the four #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.
If you keep the radome topside, secure it with
a lanyard to prevent it from falling
overboard. Also, do not place the radome on
a hot steel deck – the heat may warp the
radome.
b. Using a 10 mm socket wrench, remove the
bolt and spacer securing the antenna
assembly to the baseplate (see Figure 13).
Save the restraint hardware for future use;
the customer will need to reinstall it if he/she
needs to relocate or reship the antenna.
IMPORTANT!
Once you have removed the restraint, keep
the antenna level as much as possible and
handle the antenna carefully. Prevent the
internal antenna assembly from rotating
freely within the baseplate to avoid damaging
the limit switch.
