ANTENNA LIFTING
 Care should be taken when unpacking or lifting antennas to ensure that the waveguide is not bent, crushed or damaged
during handling.
 Support the antenna near the ends when lifting it out of the packing and when fitting into position on the turning
mechanism.
 Do not lift, handle or support the antenna by the waveguide.
 When rotating an installed antenna by hand, do not apply excessive force.
 The antenna and antenna facia must never be painted or have non-approved labels attached.
CAUTION
During installation, the antenna must be secured and supported at all times to prevent any risk of falling or slipping. Antennas
must never be left unsupported on the swing casting.
