5.10 Preparing for Shipment

If you need to repack the antenna unit for shipment, the shipping
restraints removed during installation must be replaced. Follow
these steps to reinstall the restraints.

1. Rotate the azimuth mechanism slowly to find the

limit switch stop. The front of the antenna should
be facing the forward arrow.

2. Rotate the azimuth mechanism 180º in the

opposite direction to ensure that the mechanism is
not resting on the limit switch stop.

3. Insert the two azimuth shipping restraint bolts,

washers, and spacers (removed during
installation) into the rotating plate, as shown in
Figure 5-14. Using a 10 mm wrench, secure the
rotating plate to the metal base.

Restraint Placement

When rotating the azimuth
mechanism by hand, go slowly!
Hitting the mechanical stops with
excessive force will damage the
azimuth limit switch.
