Antennacraft CCS1233 - Manual

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read this manual and Consumer Product Safety Commission information.
For your safety and convenience, plan each step of the installation and
purchase the necessary hardware in advance. The order in which you
perform the steps and the hardware required depends on the mounting and
connection methods you choose.
We recommend two people assemble the entire antenna on the ground, then
mount the assembled antenna on the mast. The following steps are required
to assemble your antenna depending on which model you have. Look at your
antenna and the picture of the assembled antenna on the carton label.
Warning: When you install your antenna, use extreme cau-
tion. If the antenna starts to fall, let it go! It could contact
overhead power lines. If the antenna touches the power line,
contact with the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause
electrocution and death. Call the power company to remove
the antenna. Do not attempt to remove it yourself.
ASSEMBLING THE ANTENNA
1. If your antenna has more than one main boom section, use the supplied
splint hardware to assemble the sections as shown. If necessary, lift one
end of the main boom so the wires reach the threaded posts of the next
section.
Note: Some antenna models may have straight wires that connect
across the splint instead of crossover wires.

2. Use the supplied hardware to loosely attach the supplied mast clamp
assembly to the main boom as shown. If your antenna has a support
boom, attach its mast clamp assembly, facing it the same direction as
the main boom’s mast clamp assembly.
Note: Some antenna models may have the mast clamp
pre-attached.
3. If your antenna has a support boom, align its support straps and mast
clamp with the main boom’s strap holes and mast clamp. You may have
to flip the support boom ends to get the correct hole alignment. Attach
the support straps to the main boom using the two supplied 1½-inch
screws and large wing nuts.
4. Press the supplied large end plugs into the main boom and support
boom. If your antenna has wing booms, press the supplied small end
plugs into the wing booms.
