NOTE: This instruction sheet covers all models in this series
1. If antenna has a 2 or 3-section crossarm (boom), assemble the sections with
screws and wing nuts. (See Fig. 1). On 3-section antennas, assemble with the short
elements to the front of antenna and the long elements to the rear of antenna. When
assembling, push the front or rear sections into the center section with the slot in
the front or rear sections pushed against the rivet, holding the insulator to the
center section. This will line up the holes for the screw and wing nut.
2. Open all elements on the antenna. NOTE: The elements on this antenna are tightly
riveted. To avoid bending the elements while opening, grip the elements near the
rivets. (See Figs. 2 & 3).
3. Swing phasing rods (riveted to center section) into position on the front
section and secure with wing nuts. (See Fig. 4).
NOTE: Do not attach transmission wire or balun to these points. Transmission wire
or balun are attached to the bottom terminals of the folded UHF dipole as shown
in Step 5.
4. Thread standout (Not Supplied) into hole in lower reflector crossarm. (See Fig. 5).
5. Attach transmission wire (or balun, if coax installation) to tap-off terminals at the
bottom of the UHF dipole, as shown in Fig. 6 (or 6A if a straight UHF dipole).
6. Fasten antenna to mast using U-bolt assembly as shown in Figs. 7 & 8.
7. If your antenna has boom braces, secure them to the mast below the antenna as
shown in Fig. 9. (Make sure the main crossarm is straight when tightening
U-bolt nuts securing the boom braces.)
8. Run transmission wire to the TV set using standouts where required. Attach
UHFNHF Separator (Splitter) between the transmission wire and TV set.
