Fitting a grip

Two grips are available; a plastic dummy grip or a function handle with integral push

buttons. Both are attached to the pull handle in an identical fashion.

1. Remove the PIP pin from the grip.

2. Push the grip onto the small stub fixing.

3. Insert the PIP pin and push in as far as it will go. It will almost certainly be necessary

to move the grip to ensure that the holes line up.

Note on using the PIP pins

The PIP pins have a positive locking device that prevents them from accidentally falling out

of their holes. In order to free them or enable them to be inserted into a hole, they must be

operated in the following manner.

To insert: Push the pin into the hole by pressing the very top of the pin. The small button

will depress, releasing the locking ball bearings, allowing the pin to be pushed into the hole.

To remove: Pull the pin by means of the attached ring. The ring is attached to the central

plunger, which operates the locking ball bearings. Pulling the ring (and plunger) releases

the lock, allowing the pin to be removed.

NOTE: Simply pulling or pushing the knurled part of the PIP pin will have no effect.

Attaching the handle to the antenna

Requirements:

1. Place the antenna on the ground with the Head Electronics unit connectors towards

you.

2. Pull the PIP pins from the clevis.

3. Insert the two antenna side cheeks into the two grooves on the ends of the clevis.

4. Align the two uppermost holes in the side cheeks with the holes on the clevis.

5. Insert the PIP pins as far as they will go.

6. If the function handle option is fitted, connect the curly cable to the Tx-Rx unit socket

marked “REMOTE”.
