UNREELING AND CONNECTING THE MAIN RADIATOR-continued

TM 11-5985-362-13

Walk REEL NO. 4 back toward the next clamp on the MAIN FEEDLINE. When the next single SLEEVE is

reached on the MAIN RADIATOR clamp it in the next empty CLAMP on the MAIN FEEDLINE.

Continue to walk REEL NO. 4 from the MAIN FEEDLINE toward the first drop wire tip on the LEFT

CATENARY. When the next closely spaced pair of SLEEVES (on MAIN RADIATOR) is reached clamp them

to drop wire as in step 3.

Continue walking REEL NO. 4 toward the next CLAMP on MAIN FEEDLINE. Clamp the next SLEEVE on

the MAIN RADIATOR as shown in step 5.

Continue this criss-cross unreeling and connection of the MAIN RADIATOR until the last drop wire tip on the

LEFT CATENARY is reached. At this connection point, the size of the MAIN RADIATOR changes.

Continue unreeling the MAIN RADIATOR toward the MAIN FEEDLINE attachment at the top of the tower.

Make this connection at the next SLEEVE where the MAIN RADIATOR again changes size.

Continue to unreel and connect the remainder of the MAIN RADIATOR (making connections with the last

drop wire tip on the RIGHT CATENARY and the tips of both BACK RADIATOR GUYS). Make the two cross-

over connections to the MAIN FEEDLINE and the final connection to the MAIN FEEDLINE with the end of

the MAIN RADIATOR as shown in detail on page 2-37.

When the complete MAIN RADIATOR is layed out and clamped in place, recheck all CLAMPS to insure tight

connection.
