Assembly of the 2 Piece Antenna with Joiner Strips

At this time the antenna will come in either one or two pieces when using the standard AZ-El mount.

If

you have requested your antenna be shipped in one piece, please ignore this paragraph and go on to the
next page.

Those of you who are left must take the two halves and place them on a flat surface. The

antenna must always set on the lip when assembling or storing (see Figure #4). Before sliding the halves
together, one person should get under the antenna with the 1/4" x 3/4" bolts supplied. Using the proper
joiner strips, push the bolts from the inside out and secure with the 1/4" nuts. The joiner strips and the dish
will have serial numbers that match, so when installing, be sure the numbers match. These numbers are on
the inside lip of the dish and the end of the joiner strip (see Figure #5). Tighten these very tight so the dish
holds the shape it had when made.

Below is a listing of the additional number of 1/4" bolts that should be in your bolt bag when
your antenna is in two pieces.
