Perform the following steps to install the feed assembly and feed support tube onto the antenna reflector.The feed support tube is keyed to assure that it will seat properly in the feed support socket.

1. Insert the 5 /16-18 wedge nut into the antenna reflector as shown in diagram at right. The wedge nut is keyed so that it will fit properly in its slot in the antenna.

2. Install the feed leg into the feed sup-port socket on the antenna reflector.

3. Secure the feed leg with a 5 /16 flat washer, lock washer, and 5 /16-18 hex bolt. Use a torque wrench to tighten the hex screw to 8 to 10 ft-lbs.

2. Insert the 1 /4-20 X 1 /2-inch bolt through the grounding hole on the base plate (see diagram at right).

3. Install the star washer and 1 /4-inch nut onto the bolt.

4. Wrap the #8 grounding wire around the bolt between the star washer and the base plate, then tighten the nut.

5. Route the ground wire from the base plate to the ground rod. Use the ground rod clamp to attach the ground wire to the ground rod.
