WARNING: Hoisting with other than a webbed four-part sling may result in catastrophic crushing
of the radome. Refer to the specifications and drawings for the fully assembled weight of your
model Antenna/Radome and assure that equipment used to lift/hoist this system is rated
accordingly.
CAUTION: The antenna/radome assembly is very light for its size and is subject to large swaying
motions if hoisted under windy conditions. Always ensure that tag lines, attached to the radome
base frame, are attended while the antenna assembly is being hoisted to its assigned location
aboard ship.
