REFLECTOR PRE-ASSEMBLY
The reflector consists of eight interchangeable petals of compression molded
glass-fiber reinforced material. This material is very strong, yet lightweight and
easy to handle. The reflector will possess a very accurate parabolic shape when
properly assembled and will retain its shape for years under harsh
environmental conditions. The microwave reflective surface is provided by a fine
mesh screen that lies just beneath the molded surface of the petals.

ASSEMBLY
[ 1 ]
3.4M & 3.7M Az/El TRUSS MOUNT
A) Identify the reflector petals and parts of
the reflector support structure according
to the parts list. We recommend that you
hi-lite the column for your specific antenna.
B) Note that four of the petals (item 1) have
a 1 / 2" hole thru the center. These holes
are for the feed clevises. Pre assemble
these four petals as follows.
C) Run the 1 / 2" nut (item 9) up the threads
of the clevis (item 3), and place a 1 / 2"
flatwasher (item 10) against the nut. Adjust
the nut until the distance from the far side
of the washer and the center of the clevis
hole is 2" for the 3.7M and 1.5" for the 3.4M
D) From the face of the petal, insert the clevis
assembly thru the hole in the center of the
petal. Secure with 1 / 2" hardware.
Tighten these nuts hand tight at this time.
