FEED AND FEED LEG INSTALLATION

NOTE: Long formed end of Side Feed Leg attaches to the Reflector rim, short formed to side of Feed Support Terminal.

Assemble Bottom Feed Leg to bottom of Reflector rim. From the inside of Reflector rim, insert M6 x 16mm Hex Bolt thru hole in rim and attach Bottom Feed Leg. Secure with Lock Washer and Hex Nut.

NOTE: Bottom Feed Leg is the one with slight bend, with lance, on one end, and is shorter than the Side Feed Legs.

Leave all hardware loose. Insert Bottom Feed Leg end with lance into socket hole in center of Feed Support Terminal. Twist to engage lances. Attach left and right Feed Support Legs to Feed Support Terminal, securing with M6 x 16mm Hex Bolts and Lock Washers. Refer to Instruction for Feed Assembly to assemble Feed Assembly and ODU to Terminal Block. Tighten and torque all hardware to Terminal Block and Reflector to 4 ft-lbs (5.4 N-m). Tighten two screws in Terminal Block socket equally.

MEDIUM DUTY

Assemble “U” Clip to bottom of Reflector using M6 x 22mm Round Head Square Neck Bolt, Lock Washer and Hex Nut. Insert bottom Feed Support Tube into “U” Clip and secure with M6 x 55mm Round Head Square Neck Bolt and elastic Lock Nut. (Ref. Fig. 1.5 & 1.6) Assemble Feed Support Block (supplied with Feed package) to Feed Support Tube, using two M6 x 16mm Hex Bolts and Lock Washers.

96cm System (Ref. Fig. 1.5)

Attach Side Feed Legs and Braces to left and right sides of Reflector using M6 x 20mm Hex Bolts, Lock Washers and Hex Nuts. (NOTE: Long formed end of Feed Leg attaches to Reflector. Short formed end of Brace attaches to inside of Reflector rim.) Attach flat- ten end of Brace to top of Mount Housing using M6 x 22mm Round Head Square Neck Bolts, Tooth Lock Washers, Flat Washers and Hex Nuts. Round Head Square Bolt fits on the underside of Mount Housing top, flatten end of Brace on top side of Mount Housing, Tooth Lock Washer on top of flatten end of Brace, then Flat Washer and Hex Nut.
