Preparing for Shipment

If you need to repack the antenna unit for shipment, the shipping
restraints removed during installation must be reinstalled. Follow
the steps below 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 180˚ in the

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

3. With the antenna reflector slightly elevated, slip

the narrow end of the elevation shipping restraint
beneath the lip of the antenna reflector. Gently
wedge the restraint inside the baseplate as shown
in Figure 4-13.

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