2.9 Refer to Figure 4. Station one man inside reflector
assembly being careful not to step, stand or sit on diameter
setting bands. Install final match-marked reflector segment
(BC) by loosely attaching to diameter setting bands
with edge joining plates while man inside moves reflector
segment from vertex end to enable capscrew hardware
installation. Loosely attach remaining joining plates as
previously described.

Caution

If standing or walking on reflector becomes necessary,
concentrate major portion of body weight toward
middle of reflector segments.

2.10 Begin attaching corresponding reflector rib segments
at match-marked position A-A using reflector segment
seam hardware. Insert capscrews from inside (concave
side) of reflector segments. Firmly push bolts through
holes until bolt head is flush with reflector surface. Note:
Slight pressure on reflector segment may be necessary to
enable proper alignment. Do not attempt to thread bolts
into holes.

2.1 Install a 200215 shim between each reflector segment
around outer perimeter of reflector assembly.
Tighten setting band and joining plate hardware beginning
with match-marked position A-A using 7/16 inch (11
mm) deep socket with ratchet and 3/16 inch (5 mm) Alien
wrench. Continue this procedure around entire perimeter
of reflector.

2.12 Begin tensioning reflector seam hardware at outer
perimeter of match-marked position A-A and continue this
procedure around reflector in concentric circles while progressing
inward toward reflector vertex. Note: Near vertex
area, it may become necessary to push down on mounting
ring hub to narrow segment gap before tightening hardware.

2.13 Tighten center setting band hardware and review
following hardware tensioning procedure before beginning
back structure assembly. Note: Diameter setting bands
should be taut at this point. If not, check to ensure proper
leveling of temporary supports.

2.6 Refer to Figure 3. Place two adjacent match-marked
reflector segments (CD and AF) on temporary supports at
opposing positions. Raise reflector segments and loosely
attach to mounting ring hub and remaining portion of diameter
setting bands and edge joining plates using capscrew
hardware. Note: Use of supplied stick wax on setting band
hardware will ease later removal of setting band assembly.

1.2 The main reflector is segmented in a six-piece configu-
ration to reduce shipping volume and facilitate transport to
remote sites or rooftops.

2.7 Loosely attach 49693 joining plates inside reflector rim
and across all reflector seams. Note: Insert capscrews
from outside reflector rim.

2.8 Place additional match-marked reflector segment (EF)
on temporary support and loosely attach to mounting ring
hub and diameter setting bands with corresponding seam
hardware and joining plates installed across reflector
seams as previously described. 		Click here to see the picture below magnified, Click Back button when finished

Type A-325 Hardware
Tensioning Procedure
All angle bracket connections use Type A-325 hardware.
Bolts must be properly tensioned to avoid slippage between
bolted surfaces under high loads. Slippage can distort
reflector surface during hoisting. Make sure all bolts
are tensioned and replace any that break. Refer to Figure 5.

Proper tensioning:
  1. Lubricate bolt threads with Type 200852 stick wax to
    reduce friction.

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

  3. Add nut amd finger tighten.
  1. After all angle braces are attached, tighten nuts untiL
    surfaces are joined tightly and nuts are snug.

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

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