Inside the antenna, four shipping restraints
prevent the antenna assembly from moving
during shipment. Follow these steps to remove
these shipping restraints.
a. Remove the six #10-32 Phillips screws
securing the radome to the baseplate.
Carefully lift the radome straight up until
clear of the antenna assembly and set it aside
in a safe place.
TIP: If you keep the radome topside, secure it with
a lanyard to prevent it from falling overboard.
b. Using wire cutters, cut and remove the
elevation shipping restraint securing the
reflector to the antenna frame (see Figure 17).
c. Cut and remove the tie-wrap securing the
antenna’s LNB to the reflector (see Figure 18).
d. Using a 9/16" socket with 6" extension,
remove the two 3/8" bolts securing the
azimuth shipping restraints to the antenna
baseplate (see Figure 19). Remove the
restraints.

Once you have removed the restraints,
handle the antenna very carefully. With the
restraints removed, the internal antenna
assembly rotates freely and, if not handled
properly, can damage the limit switch.
