ASSEMBLY OF THE ANTENNA

(On Ground: Lift As One Piece Antenna)

The antenna will come in 4 or 8 pieces each having a color coded dot on the rib (see FIGURE #5). NOTE:

After complete installation you will no longer see the colored dots. You must take two sections of the

antenna and place them on a flat surface face down allowing for the installer to work on attaching the

numbered ribs. The antenna must always stay in crate until assembled. (see FIGURE #6) Take panel one

labeled 08/1 and 08/2 and attach it to panel 2 which is labeled 08/2 on one rib and 08/3 on the other rib.

Connect panel 1 with rib #2 (labeled 08/2) to panel 2 with rib #2 (labeled 08/2), matching the #2 on each

rib of the two panels (See photos below). Install 3/8" x 1" bolts and washer through the ribs. Secure with

washer, lock washer and nut and only finger tight the nuts on . Continue on to the next panel in the same

manner until finished with all panels. Now tighten all hardware.

NOTE:

The aluminum antenna is also stamped in the lip. This

number reflects the position of the panel.

The number stamped on the rib reflects the antenna as a

whole for bulk shipping. Each section has one rib stamped.

The number will be the same on all ribs making it one

complete antenna.

The top number represents the serial number of the antenna. *Example: In FIGURE #5 you will see 4

sections with the top number 08. You will take all four pieces of 08 to make one complete antenna.

The bottom number represents the rib number. *Example: On a 4 piece 3.0m antenna the

dot will have a 08 on the upper part of the dot (serial number) and the lower number of 1, 2,

3, or 4 (rib numbers).

See optional sectional installation on page 5: "Installing by Sections to Ring"
