Figure 50 Lifting Rod Clamp Attachment
Connecting the Guy Wire Set to the
Mast
When using the DKP206AV-T mast, assemble the top fastener next to
the tapered edge (number 3 in Figure 51 on page 66). When using the
DKP210AV-T mast, assemble the top fastener of the basic guy wires
(DKP210GW-1) to the narrowing which is located approximately
0.98 m (3.2 ft.) from the top of the mast. In addition, assemble the top
fastener of the additional guy wires (DKP210GW-2) in the middle of
the ∅ 63 mm mast tube, that is, 4 meter (13 ft.) downward from the
top of the mast.
To assemble the top fastener of the guy wires, follow the procedure
below:
1. Install the clamps (number 1 in Figure 51 on page 66) around
the mast with the bolts (2) to assemble the top fastener. Aim the
guy wire that is equipped with the shackle to the groove on the
tube. Aim the insulated guy wire so that it points to the concrete
pad in northwest (in the Northern hemisphere), refer to Figure
36 on page 52 and Figure 37 on page 53.
2. After installing the lightning rod, you should align the lightning
rod holders to the same direction with the insulated guy wire,
see Figure 55 on page 69.
