1.2.3 How to hoist the Antenna Unit
The Antenna Unit may be assembled before hoisting it to the mounting platform. At-
tach lifting belt slings to the "Antenna Support", NOT the antenna radiator, as shown
in the figure below.
Also, hoist the Antenna Unit slowly. Hoisting swiftly may cause a damage to the anten-
na radiator or damage the radiator chassis.
There are two methods to hoist the Antenna Unit.
Method 1
Set belt slings to
antenna support.
Method 2
Fasten the belt sling to a shackle, pass the belt sling around the antenna support and
fasten the other end of the belt sling to the other shackle.
