Remove the Shipping Restraint
Inside the antenna, a shipping restraint prevents
the antenna assembly from moving during
shipment. Follow these steps to remove this
restraint.
a. Remove the three #10-32 Phillips screws
securing the radome to the baseplate (see
Figure 15). 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. 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, washer, tag, and spacer securing the
antenna assembly to the baseplate (see
Figure 16). Save this hardware for future use.
IMPORTANT!
Once you have removed the restraint, 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.
