• Before beginning assembly of this antenna, please read the manual in its entirety to familiarize yourself
with the task at hand. Doing so will eliminate potential confusion.
• Be sure to do an inventory of your parts as soon as possible after receipt of the antenna, and well before
your intended installation date — this way we can get you the parts required before it’s too late.
• A large, cleared flat area is recommended for assembly of the antenna. Typically, an area of 40 ft x 25 ft
would be ideal.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
Be sure to use the anti-seize compound supplied to prevent the galling of the stainless steel fasten-
ers. If you do not use the anti-seize, you will experience issues with the stainless steel hardware
galling. Heat is one of the primary culprits with galling, so if you use a ratchet, using steady speed
as you tighten will help minimize galling. We have found that when the anti-seize is applied to the
bolt portion of the hardware, it will eliminate any galling issues. Rubber or nitrile gloves are recom-
mended when applying the anti seize to the stainless steel fasteners.
Always disconnect power from the controller, then unplug the control cable before attempting to
wire or change wiring on the antenna, even if the controller is turned off! This is the number one
cause of installation failures for our products. Even with power off, damage can occur. When the
power is “off” on your controller, there is still a very small amount of power feeding to the stepper
motors, to effectively “lock” them in place. This leads to less need for calibration of the antenna.
