Remove the Shipping Restraints
Follow these steps to detach the antenna from the
shipping pallet and remove the shipping restraints.
1. Remove the six #10-32 screws securing the radome to
the baseplate. Carefully lift the radome straight up until
clear of the antenna assembly and set it aside in a safe
place. If you keep the radome topside, secure it with a
lanyard to prevent it from falling overboard.

2. Remove the four 1/2"-13 bolts and washers securing
the antenna to the shipping pallet.

3. Transport the antenna to the mounting location.
4. Remove the foam shipping restraint. Save it for future
use.
5. Remove the tie-wrap shipping restraint from the
antenna frame.
IMPORTANT!
Once you have removed the restraints, handle the
antenna carefully, as its internal assembly will rotate
freely. Whenever you need to tilt the antenna, be sure to
guard against having the internal assembly swinging
around and potentially causing injury.
