d. PREPARATION FOR ASSEMBLY OF SECTIONS

Assembly of both the TOWER and GIN POLE is done by two crewmembers working together. Since all tower

and gin pole section legs are the same size, standard TOWER SPLICES are used for the assembly. Proceed as

follows:

From mast transit case, remove the four LARGE TOWER SECTIONS and place end to end alongside

CENTER LAYOUT WIRE from TOWER BASE towards ANCHOR 1.

From mast transit case, remove the four MEDIUM TOWER SECTIONS and place end to end alongside

CENTER LAYOUT WIRE from end of last LARGE TOWER SECTION towards ANCHOR 1.

From mast transit case, remove the two SMALL TOWER SECTIONS and place end to end alongside

CENTER LAYOUT WIRE from TOWER BASE towards ANCHOR 6.

From antenna transit case, remove TOWER/GIN POLE BASE, two HINGE PINS, two RETAINING PINS and

carry to TOWER BASE.

With legs on the TOWER/GIN POLE BASE facing toward ANCHOR 1 aline holes in base with holes in

TOWER BASE, insert both HINGE PINS from inside to outside.
