CUSHCRAFT MA5B - Boom to Mast Assembly

MA5B
5 - MATCHING NETWORK
Install the matching network (MN) to the boom as shown in Figure 5.
Loosely attach the worm clamps (413) around the brackets on the
matching network and boom section. Attach the feed wires to elements
#1 and #2 as shown in the figure. Either cable may be attached to
either element, however, the polarity of the wires must be matched on
each element (i.e. the red wire on each element must be on the left
side and the black wire must be on the right side). Attach the wires
using lock washers (41) and hex nuts (11). Slide the matching network
to prevent over stressing the cables and tighten the worm clamps.
Attach cable ties (342) in 4 places around the cables and tighten.
