f. LIGHT ASSEMBLY

Light assembly consists of a control box with a 150 foot input power cable and a 70 foot output cable

interconnected to a dual obstruction light. This assembly is attached to the two legs on the left side of the fully

assembled tower.

(1) From the antenna transit case, obtain the LIGHT ASSEMBLY and place it on the ground on the left side of

the first LARGE TOWER SECTION 4 feet from the TOWER BASE. Remove the reusable straps retaining

the INTERCONNECTING CABLE and store with the assembly by attaching the straps around the conduit

between the JUNCTION BOX and the OBSTRUCTION LIGHT.

(2) Keeping on the left side of the tower, carry the OBSTRUCTION LIGHT forward to the tower top uncoiling

the INTERCONNECTING CABLE while you walk. Exert a slight tension on the cable to make it as straight

as possible and place OBSTRUCTION LIGHT on the ground next to tower. Return to the CONTROL BOX

at TOWER BASE.

(3) With one crewmember holding the CONTROL BOX crossmembers right against the two antenna legs,

place clips (two on each side) over tower legs and engage crossmembers. Tighten wingnuts on all four

clips to secure CONTROL BOX in place.
