Thoroughly Before Assembly Mount Seating Ring on Reflector. Remove the outer plastic wrap and plastic gloves from the seating ring cardboard package, but do not remove the seating ring from the package. Use the gloves to handle the package. Certain feed mounting surfaces have corrosion-inhibiting compound applied to them for contact with specific areas on the reflector. Therefore, do not remove the compound during installation. Carefully place the seating ring package against the rear surface (convex side) of the reflector, as shown in Figure 3, and place any additional plates required (see Figure 2) against the front surface (concave side). Make sure that the overlap of the hub retaining ring (see Figure 4) is positioned toward the top of the antenna. Also make sure that any taper of the ring or the plates matches the curvature of the reflector. Insert four M10 hardware bolts through the assembly from the front side of the reflector. Then add a flat washer, lock washer, and nut to each bolt. Finger tighten the bolts. Remove the two tie wraps from the seating ring package and remove the package. Then add the remaining bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts. Tighten all eight bolts evenly. |
