BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before you begin installation, read this manual and the separate Consumer
Product Safety Commission information sheet.  For your safety and
convenience, plan each step of the installation and purchase the necessary
hardware in advance.  The order in which you perform the steps and the
hardware required depends on the mounting and connection methods you
choose.

WARNING:  When you install your antenna, use extreme caution.  If the
          antenna starts to fall, let it go!  It could contact overhead
          power lines.  If the antenna touches the power line, contact with
          the antenna , mast, cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution
          and death.  Call the power company to remove the antenna.  DO NOT
          attempt to remove it yourself.

ASSEMBLING THE ANTENNA

We recommend that two people assemble the entire antenna on the ground,
then mount the assembled antenna on the mast.  Follow these steps to
assemble the antenna.

1.  Use the supplied hardware to assemble the two main boom sections as
    shown.  If necessary, lift one end of the main boom so the crossover
    wires reach the threaded posts.

    NOTE:  If necessary, move the surrounding elements to permit access to
           the splint's slot.

2.  Snap the supplied plastic wire separator onto the crossover wires.

3.  Use the supplied hardware to loosely attach one of the supplied mast
    clamp assemblies to the main boom as shown.

    NOTE:  If necessary, move the surrounding elements to permit access to
           the mast clamp.

4.  Attach the other mast clamp assembly to the cradle boom facing the same
    direction as the main boom's mast clamp assembly. Fold out the two sets
    of metal support straps on the cradle boom and attach them to the
    corresponding holes on the main boom using the two supplied 1 1/2-inch
    screws and wing nuts.

5.  Press the supplied large end plugs into the ends of the cradle and boom
    and the main antenna boom.

6.  Hold the main boom's elements near the pivot points and pull them until
    they snap into the self-locking plastic support insulators.

    CAUTION:  Do not pull the elements near their outer ends or you could
              damage them.  Once the elements are locked into the self
              locking position, do not attempt to unlock them.  Doing so
              might break the self-locking tab.

7.  Hold the corner reflector's wing boom elements and turn them until they
    snap squarely into place.

8.  Unfold the wing booms until they snap into place.  Secure them with the
    two 1 1/4-inch screws and small sing nuts as shown.  Press the supplied
    small  end plugs into the ends of the wing booms.

9.  Pull back the two halves of the UHF Bowtie until they lock into place.
    Then place the free end of each half of the UHF Bowtie over its lead-in
    terminal.
