Specifications

1.8 Set antenna to desired elevation angle. Remove lock-

ing pin from handwheel on elevation jack shaft by pressing

quick release button on head of locking pin. Remove hand-

wheel and reinstall on azimuth jack shaft. Align cor-

responding holes and insert locking pin into handwheel

assembly. Release azimuth brake by rotating brake handle

counterclockwise and sweep in azimuth to locate signal.

After desired satellite is found, peak EL and AZ for optimum

signal. Retighten azimuth brake assembly and elevation

strut locking screws.

Note: Pointing accuracy of the antenna will diminish at wind

speeds above 30 gusting to 45 mph. Do not operate the

antenna system at wind speeds above 65 mph and tem-

peratures outside of the range -40°F to 125°F.

Unlock safety pins from strut clamping knobs

Loosen/remove clamping knobs

Once all four struts are released, carefully swing each

strut into the center of the reflector. Proceed to assem-

ble each strut to the feed support yoke using the hard-

ware supplied on each strut.

Feed Support Yoke

Connect the Pol. Drive cable to the Feed sup-

port yoke as shown. Finish assembly by

installing the feed system.

Azimuth Brake

2.0 S

towing Procedure

2.1 Lower the antenna to zero degress azimuth.

2.2 Disassemble the feed system and stow as required.

Diassembly of the feed support struts is opposite to the

assembly procedure as described above. Ensure that struts

are tightly clamped together and that safety pins are re-

inserted into all clamp knobs.

2.3 Raise the antenna to 15° elevation. Position and swing

the reflector sides carefully to their stowed position.

2.4 Lower the antenna to its stowed position making sure

that the two positioning lugs on the bottom of the tilt bed

frame make contact. Tighten azimuth brake, elevation strut

clamp, and elevation safety clamps (2). Engage and rotate

reflector hold down assemblies (4) in clockwise direction

until springs are compressed and allowing metal-to-metal

contact. Rotate hold downs an additional two turns to fully

secure reflector sides in position.

NOTE: During high-wind conditions (in excess of 85 mph),

ensure reflector sides are extended/locked, antenna is posi-

tioned to 90° elevation and trailer is raised on outrigger

jacks.
