7. Installation of the planar radome (only U and D-Types)
Take care to avoid kinking of planar radomes during installation. Kinking would
destroy the radomes, which are non-repairable!
•
Unpack the radome and carefully stretch it over the shroud aperture.
•
Orient the drainhole grommet exactly to the bottom point of antenna, opposite TOP.
•
Attach J-bolts with springs and smooth radome down as the springs are attached, but do
not displace the edge protector.
•
Align the length of springs to approx. 135 mm at each J-bolt, this will provide proper
radome tension.
