2.4 System Assembly
The assembly procedures presented in this section are based on the
assumption that a powered lifting device of adequate size and capacity is
used; therefore, the procedures given do not reflect consideration of
limitations in lifting and handling equipment that might be encountered at
any specific installation site. If a suitable crane is not available, it is possible
to assemble the entire antenna without heavy hoisting equipment, provided
sufficient manpower is available and a suitable elevated work platform can
be provided so that the reflector may be assembled in place on top of the
mount.
2.4.1 Site Preparation
A site should be selected and prepared in advance of the antenna installation.
Refer to the 9-Meter Earth Station Antenna Site Preparation Technical
Manual #42S314 for information needed to properly locate and install the
foundation for this antenna system.
2.4.2 Recommended Tools and Equipment
