Installation Procedures
Refer to Figure 46. Extend elevation jack extension assembly to 7 ft (2 m) dimension as
shown. Raise assembly and secure to forward ground mount beam assembly, using 6 ft

Warning: Do not attempt to raise reflector/backstructure if winds exceed 25 mph. Raise
reflector/backstructure assembly and align with corresponding elevation jack/panning frame
assemblies using tag lines for guidance.
Note: A minimum of three tag lines should be used during high wind conditions. Do not exert
force while using the tag lines during reflector installation as this will distort the panel surfaces.
