Rig and Hoist the Antenna
Follow these steps to detach the antenna from the pallet
and safely rig the antenna for crane hoisting.
1. Using a 7/16" socket/ratchet or nut driver, unlock the
three hex latches securing the antenna’s service
hatches. Then gently lower the hatches. You can now
access the four shipping bolts securing the antenna’s
baseplate to the pallet.

2. Using a 3/4" socket/ratchet or wrench, remove the
four outer 1/2"-13 bolts securing the antenna to the
pallet. Do not remove the four inner bolts that secure
the internal antenna assembly to the baseplate.

the hex latches.

brackets. Be sure the rigging and crane are suitably
rated to safely lift the 189 lbs (86 kg) antenna.

the air.
