YOU CAN ALSO ORDER MACO® PARTS & ACCESSORIES ONLINE AT WWW.ANTENNAPARTSOUTLET.COM Please note: In an effort to keep the price on Maco Antennas down, we have decided not to clean up all the burrs and rough edges on the parts. We recommend that you deburr and clean up each part with files, sandpaper, etc. so that they go together easily. We are aware this needs to be done but have elected not to do it to save you the money we would have to add to the price of the kit for this service.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FIGURE 1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS This drawing depicts an overall view of what the antenna should look like upon completion of assembly. Refer to Figures 2 thru4 for specific assembly details. All hardware should be coated with a silicon rubber sealant or similar compound to insure that wind vibration does not cause it to work loose.
