Remove the Shipping Restraint
Inside the antenna, a foam block prevents the
antenna assembly from moving during
shipment. Follow these steps to remove this
shipping restraint.
a. Remove the six #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. Remove the foam block that is wedged
beneath the antenna's reflector (see
Figure 13). Save this restraint 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 very carefully. Prevent
the internal antenna assembly from rotating
freely within the baseplate to avoid damaging
the limit switch.
