and bottom reflector booms. Swing the elements out until they lock into position. See Figure 1. Unfold reflector booms until they lock into place. See Figure 2.

STEP 2. Unfold all elements making sure they lock into place.

MODEL HD-9032 STEP 3. Remove the bolt and hex nut

holding the element on the tapered end of the front boom. Slide the two sections together. The elements should be on top. Replace the element, bolt and hex nut and tighten securely. See Fig. 3.

STEP 4. Be sure to unfold tetrapole elements away from boom.

STEP 5. Connect matching transformer to the downlead connection. Loosen wing nuts on the bottom side of the tetrapole, and slide spade lugs of matching transformer between the washers. Tighten wing nuts securely. See Figure 4. If a VHF antenna is coupled in with this antenna, the VHF lead attaches to the top set of connections on the tetrapole. Note: If you are cou-

pling a VHF/UHF antenna to the top VHF tetrapole connections, you will lose CH.1469 from the VHF/UHF antenna.

STEP 6. Remove the mast clamp insert,

U-bolt, and hex nuts from the supplied hardware bag. Align insert with mast clamp on main antenna boom. Attach U-bolt through mast clamp insert and holes on the side of main boom, extending threaded bolt ends through holes to allow finger tightening of hex nuts to boom. Mount antenna to the mast by sliding U-Bolt through top of mast, keeping mast between the rounded U-bolt edge and the insert. Tighten hex nuts securely to lock the antenna to the mast, keeping main antenna boom level. See Figure 5.

STEP 7. Tape coax to mast with a good quality electrical tape to prevent wind whipping.

Step 1. Mount the lightning arrestor or 75 ohm grounding block as close as possible to where the 75 ohm coaxial cable downlead enters the house. See Fig. 6.

Step 2. The ground wires for both the mast and the downlead should be copper or aluminum wire, number eight (8) or larger. See Figure 6.

Step 3. The downlead wire from the antenna to the grounding block and the mast ground wire should be secured to the house spaced from four (4) to six (6) feet apart. See Figure 6.

NOTE: In the case of a “ground up” antenna installation, it may not be necessary to ground the mast if the mast extends four or more feet into the earth. Consult a TV serviceman for the proper depth in your location.

(May substitute a 75 ohm Coax Grounding Block)
