Installation Procedures
The reflector can be installed on the mount manually or by using a crane. However,
Andrew recommends that this procedure be performed using a crane.
The following steps provide the procedure for installing the reflector to the mount using
a crane.
Route a sling through the upper holes in the reflector torsion box assembly, and connect
the ends using a 5/8 inch shackle as shown in Figure 3-42.
NOTE: If using a steel sling, install foam pad protection in the upper reflector torsion
box holes under the sling to avoid disfiguration of the reflector.
Route two rope tag lines through two consecutive holes in the torsion box assembly to
be used as guides when the reflector is lifted with a crane.
