5.5 Preparation for Shipment
If it is necessary to repack the antenna unit for shipment, the
shipping restraints removed during installation must be
replaced. Follow these steps to reinstall the restraints.
1. Remove the radome.
2. Rotate the antenna unit so that the LNB is facing
away from the baseplate connectors.
3. Attach the three restraints to the baseplate using
the

8" hex screws and washers (provided in
the kitpack) and nuts (removed from the restraints
during installation) as pictured in Figure 5-8.
4. Place the antenna bracket on the forward shipping
restraint.

wrapping two tie-wraps around the bend in the
forward restraint and the antenna bracket (at the
end of the LNB bracket).

using the original packaging material. Secure the
