1.1.5 How to hoist the Antenna Unit (FAR-2x58)
The Antenna Unit may be assembled before hoisting it to the mounting platform. Do
one of the following to hoist the Antenna Unit. Attach shackles ( 20, local supply) to
the lifting fixtures to use belt slings. After the Antenna Unit is securely placed, remove
the shackles.
Also, hoist the Antenna Unit slowly. Hoisting swiftly may cause a damage to the an-
tenna radiator or damage the radiator chassis.
