2.2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 
 
1)  Precautions for transporting and storing the antenna 
 
x  An antenna is a heavy load.    Be very careful about handling it.     
x  Do not allow the antenna fall on its side while it is stored or being installed. 
x  Do not apply rope to the antenna in the way that squeezes or deforms the radiating section. 
x  When hoisting the antenna by a crane, do not hoist it by attaching a belt or a rope only to 
the antenna's radiating section as shown in Fig. 6.     
x  For the X-band, wrap a cloth around the antenna's support section located at the bottom of 
the radiating section, and then attach a belt or rope to it to hoist the antenna   
(Fig. 8).
