Assembling the CHA SPIDER ASB

TM

 

Assembly of the CHA SPIDER ASB

TM

 is quick and easy using our Easy-Up design 

 just perform the following steps. 

 

1.

 

Position the U-Bolt Base (d) on the bottom of the Antenna Spoke Base (a) and align the Bracket Mounting 
Holes (k) with the Base Mounting Holes (b).  The edge 

opposite the ”L” corner

 of the U-Bolt Base should 

be facing the UHF Socket (c), as shown in plate (3).   

2.

 

Attach the U-Bolt Base to the Antenna Spoke Base using four Hex Bolts (g).  T

ighten with a 5/32” hex 

wrench, but do not over-tighten. 

3.

 

If your antenna mast is less than or equal to 1 3/8” diameter, insert

 the two Small U-bolts (f) through the 

Small U-Bolt Holes (j) of the U-Bolt Bracket. 

4.

 

If your antenna mast is greater than 1 3/8” and less than or equal to 1 3/4”, insert the two Large U

-Bolts 

(e) through the Large U-Bolt Holes (i) of the U-Bolt Bracket. 

5.

 

Place one Washer (h) over each threaded end of the U-Bolts, as shown in the inset of plate (3). 

6.

 

Screw one Nut over each threaded end of the U-Bolts, as shown in the inset of plate (3).  Leave loose.

7.

 

Insert the antenna mast through the two U-
Bolts.  Leave a  gap between the top of the 
mast  and  the  base  of  the  U-Bolt  Base,  as 
shown in plate (4), to avoid the heads of Hex 
Bolts (g). 

8.

 

Evenly  tighten  the  Nuts  on  the  U-Bolts  so 
that  the  mast  is  held  securely.    Do  not 
deform  the  mast  by  over-tightening  the  U-
Bolt Nuts.   

9.

 

Attach  the  coaxial  cable 

(not  supplied,  but 

available as an accessory)

 to the UHF Socket 

(c).
