have to support the weight of the wire traveling down the tower. It is highly advisable to
cover the wire connections with shrink tubing to prevent the possibility of wire shorts.
Step 2: Insert the yaw bushing and slip ring into the 1.5 inch schedule 80 steel tower pipe as
shown in Step 2 of Figure 2.
Step 3: Coil the wires coming out of the top of the yaw bushing so that they all fit inside the
yaw bushing as shown in Step 3 of Figure 2. Place the yaw bushing so that it is resting on the
top of the tower pipe as shown in Step 3 of Figure 2.
Step 4: Next, using a rubber mallet or hammer pound the yaw bushing into the tower pipe
until
the top circle of the yaw bushing makes contact with the top of the tower pipe . It is necessary
to cover the yaw bushing with a piece of wood so that it is not damaged from direct strikes
from a hammer or mallet. Guide the yaw bushing straight down by hitting the wood with light
taps or swings with the hammer.
Do not pound the yaw bushing in with heavy/strong hammer
blows as this could cause the yaw bushing to be inserted at an angle!
