Remove the Restraints

6
Inside the antenna, several shipping restraints
prevent the antenna assembly from moving
during shipment. Follow these steps to remove
the first set of shipping restraints.
a. Remove the six #10-32 Phillips screws
securing the radome to the baseplate (see
Figure 16). Carefully lift the radome straight
up until clear of the antenna assembly and set
it aside in a safe place.
TIP: If you keep the radome topside, secure it with
a lanyard to prevent it from falling overboard.
b. Using a 9/16" socket with 6" extension,
remove the four 3/8" bolts, two brackets, and
two washers securing the antenna to the
shipping pallet (see Figure 17).
IMPORTANT!
Once you have removed the restraints,
handle the antenna very carefully. With the
restraints removed, the internal antenna
assembly rotates freely and, if not handled
properly, can damage the limit switch.
NOTE: You will remove the tie-wrap and wire
shipping restraints after you mount the antenna.
