Tensioning Procedure
A-325 Hardware
A-325 hardware must be properly tensioned to avoid slippage between bolted surfaces under high loads. Slippage can cause the corresponding assembly to move slightly and cause antenna misalignment. Make sure all bolts are tensioned per procedure below and replace any bolts that break. Note: Bolts that are tensioned are for final connections only and should not be loosened for reuse.

Proper tensioning:
1. Lubricate bolt threads with stick wax to reduce friction.

2. Insert bolt and add washer if required. Do not allow wax under flat washer.

3. Add nut and finger tighten.

4. After connections are completed, tighten bolts until surfaces are joined and nuts are snug. Do not proceed with steps 5 and 6 below unless the connection is final and is not intended to be lossened again.

5. Mark nuts and ends of bolts with straight line. See A

6. Tighten nuts further with extra long wrench or power wrench until nuts are moved 1/3 tum (120° ±30°). See B.
